Where is my .cfg file? I've never seen it....

OK, I tried that command line on my real log file, and added *.jpg 
and *.swf to the exclusion. The gifs/jpegs were excluded, but the 
.swf files still showed up. What is going on there? The .swf was 
followed by a line for the .swf's query string for clickthru's 
(highlighted in a different color). Is that a separate issue? Is the 
line above only there to indicate the caller/referrer for the 
clickthru?

What sort of interaction is there between the anlgform.pl script and 
any other settings elsewhere (wherever elsewhere is -- I haven't 
touched anything else)?
