[WM] Strange problems

[Wes Meltzer]

I changed ${${WebMake.OutName}.txt} to ${WebMake.OutName} and I renamed 
"index.txt" to "index", and now nothing works at all.

Am I missing something?

Do I need to put the .txt back in and change the metatable somehow? I 
guess I'm just confused as to how to approach the problem.
