function news_reference(directory, base_file)

// Presumes  a sequence of monthly files, "year_no/month_no_base_file.html", 
// e.g "09/01_lnews.html".  Function calculates 'year_no' and 'month_index', 
// from the built in 'Date' object, then, uses 'base_file' text (latter 
// excluding ".html", here added automatically),to write the appropriate 
// anchor tag, directory and filename, including the visible file title
// 'news', to provide for an html call of the current base_file.  

// The parameter 'directory' allows the new file to be correctly positioned.
// 'directory' will be './bnews/' for the highest level of web pages ('index', 
// 'link') and normally '../bnews/' otherwise, apart from 'news' where it will 
// be '../'.

// CORRECTnESS of LAST BIT OF COMMENT?
