Wow. Your right again.. that's why your the expert and I'm the annoying novice..
BTW for any other poor Windows 2003 (W2K3) IIS ISAPI_Rewrite users, I submitted my RewriteRule to the ISAPI_Rewrite support forum at http://www.helicontech.com/forum/forum_topics-FID-2-PN-0.asp They provided the two new Rewriterules that work flawlessly on my wiki so far..
RewriteRule /wiki/([^?]+)(?:?(.+))? /index.php?title=$1?2&$2: [I,L]
RewriteRule /wiki/(?=Special)([\w:]+)/([\w:]+) /index.php?title=$1&target=$2 [I,L]
again, my physical location is
c:\wiki\MediaWiki\MediaWiki-1.6.3 LocalSettings.php statements: - - - - - - $wgScriptPath = ""; $wgScript = "$wgScriptPath/index.php"; $wgRedirectScript = "$wgScriptPath/redirect.php"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; - - - - - - - - -
Thanks Brion for your patience, availability and willingness to help, Brian

So what would cause my instance of MW to generate article links

containing a ( in the title with %28 to replace the "(". But MW doesn't replace "." with "%2E" or replace "/"s with ""%2F" when creating links.
Why would it? Those are not special characters, they are allowed in URLs.
Please see RFC 3986.
