I have successfully upgraded 6.2 to 6.3 but continue to get a register_globals On message in the status report. I have tried modifying the .htaccess and php.ini files based on the documentation and past comments in the forums. Drupal 6.3 is in a subdirectory. Runnng the info.php file results in the following:

I'm a newbie and not a programmer, and have spent about 10 hours (too many) trying to correct this. Can anyone help!. Thanks much.

Check with hosting company
Not sure what sort of advice you're acting on, but I know what I did (roughly a year ago now) was to make my own php.ini file for the root directory of my hosted account. (Same location as the .htaccess file.) In my case, that worked, but it was because my hosting company allowed me to configure that setting in that manner for my account. Not all hosting companies allow those using shared hosted space to follow that process.
I know I'm far from an expert in PHP myself, so I'm not sure if I'd be any help beyond that. That is the 'old' way of doing things. I started hearing about it sometime in 2006 within various open source communities and support forums, so the fact it is 'bad' should be well established by now. Then again, your hosting company may have you on a server setup for those 'legacy' kind of web apps. If everything else fails, ask if your account can be moved to a server configured with more modern settings.
