Yes. They are.

All one has to do is open one of the files to see that they are very
different beasts.

Were they the same, then all PHPTemplate-based templates would work in
Xtemplate and we wouldn't be having this conversation (which we are not
anyway, since you're not really conversing with me. ;)

But that's cool. And not relevant.  And, besides, we are not defining "same"
in any meaningful way so there is no need to banter about it.

I have no need (or desire) to port an Xtemplate-based template.  I wish to
(and am) moving to a PHPTemplate-based template, and there I have no problem
doing what I wish: divert specific URLs to specific templated pages.

But, we can agree on this:

Xtemplate is not readily amenable to do what I wish (I have no concern
whether I break any other Xtemplate templates, since I only have one, but I
do appreciate the heads-up.)

I am not going to pursue editing the Xtemplate engine file, because it's not
going to be around much more than a week OMM, and also because it is a real
mess, code-wise.

Thanks, however, Adrian, for taking time to reply.
