Hugh:

Unless I've missed something, it sounds like you are thinking of
SSI, Server Side Includes.

If so, you simply code the two something like this:

<body>

<!--#include virtual="topcode.txt"-->

 <more code for page>

<!--#include virtual="bottomcode.txt"-->

</body>
</html>


Of course, the .txt part can be almost any type of file you wish.
The files are put in the same directory as the pages unless you
include a "path" to them.

You are no doubt, already aware of the several SSI problems
relating to some servers that require the page containing such
code to be saved as .shtml (or on NT it is often .stm). (Hosts
can easily eliminate this problem but many are often reluctant to
do so.)
