Ah, thanks again, Michael! Found the required Mimemap syntax for a
CSS entry in the "Solved problems" section of the Webjames helpfile.
However, I then found I *already* have that entry in my Mimemap!

Then a closer look: I found that the file 2018/css had RiscOS
filetype Text. Changed filetype to CSS (&f79), relaunched Webjames --
and now everything is fine!

(Begs the question: why does RiscOS actually bother having a specific
filetype for a CSS file? It's only text. Doubleclicking it only
loads it into a text editor. Nothing else in RiscOS except the
browser, as far as I know, has any use for a CSS file. The HTML page
invokes the file as "xxx.css" and explicitly declares it as a
stylesheet. The distant host doesn't care about RiscOS filetypes.
What was the mechanism that made the filetype matter in this case?
Academic, I guess, now that it's working!)
