HOLY COW! Is it me or does this seem completely arbitrary? The value of the_request is wrong, too (doesn't include the query). I have no idea how to write this up concisely without driving people to perl. Can we ignore it and maybe it will go away? ;-) Daniel Popowich --------------- http://home.comcast.net/~d.popowich/mpservlets/
