I’m not sure if this will help you or not, but I *think* the code you want to modify would be here:
/wp-includes/general-template.php
In WP 2.6.1, there is an area of code around line 350 on that deals with the wp_get_archives function. Perhaps someone with an understanding of this code could post a hack to meet your needs?
I’m sorry I can’t be of more help.
I just installed it in 2.6.1. So far it works (with some help from http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/162816)
THANK YOU, kalico! I appreciate your clear instructions.
