Hi Chris,

Thanks for that confirmation about anchor contributions and PLUGINS_ROOT.

I was using a tool that kept inserting a slash into the path that I 
typed for my link_to, and that was messing things up when I included 
PLUGINS_ROOT in the path, and I could't figure out why having that slash 
made such a difference in that case. :-)

Thanks again!
