...this? I have a programmer working on my site to finish off were the last programmers did not, as they took my oney and ran! In any event this programmer sent me a mock-up of my site (POOR!) and I noticed this software in the background HTML.

It's the document type definition. It tells the web browser which version of which markup language the document is written in, so that the browser knows how to render it.
 
The doctype declaration is not an HTML tag; it is an instruction to the web browser about what version of the markup language the page is written in.

The doctype declaration refers to a Document Type Definition (DTD). The DTD specifies the rules for the markup language, so that the browsers can render the content correctly.

The "transitional" qualifier means that the code can use deprecated (obsolete) structures and elements, and the browser, if it supports them, should render them.

The DTD is recommended for every web site.
