.htaccess redirect question

Joined: 12/20/2008

Hello I have recently moved my old postnuke based site (which used it's own .htaccess file to create clean URLs) and now I want to redirect only a few pages to the new URL in drupal.

Old site: http://mysite.com/Articles.html
New site: http://mysite.com/Articles

I have tried adding at the top of my .htaccess

Redirect 301 /Articles.html http://www.mysite.com/Articles

but this redirects to http://www.mysite.com/Articles?q=Articles.html

How can I drop the ?q=Articles.html from the end?

make sure you have "clean

make sure you have "clean URL's" enabled?
