Well, I kept on experimenting yesterday. I downloaded the GAE SDK and
have been trying to run the code in the local GAE development server.
This morning I saw my first "Hello World" in my browser!

Conclusion: it works! But it's not ready to be uploaded. I shortcut
the problem of finding the fasls to be loaded: I hard coded the local
HD path for now. Which immediately indicates the next step to be
taken.

If you replace the 2 files by the same names in the zip I sent
yesterday by the 2 class files that I'm sending today, it should work
for you too.


Bye,
