I've set up the form interface to Analog on a colleagues website, so 
that they can keep an eye on the usage patterns on a new website.

The form uses the "cg" variable to point at a .CFG file where Various 
defaults have been set, including FILEEXCLUDEing all the FrontPage 
entries, images, and stylesheet requests.

FILEEXCLUDE *_vti*,*.jpg,*.gif,*.css

Of course this causes Analog to do an implicit FILEINCLUDE on everything 
first, so that when you try to use the "Only certain files" section of 
the form to restrict the analysis to just a single file, or 
subdirectory, it doesn't work, because the implicit FILEINCLUDE also 
includes everything else. I can do that restricted analysis by putting 

FILEINCLUDE /some/file

in the CFG file before the FILEEXCLUDE, but that's a bit more work than 
the user wants to do.

I can also make it work by removing the FILEEXCLUDE from the CFG file, 
and making it the default value for the FILEEXCLUDE field in the form 
instead, but I'd rather keep all the default settings in the CFG file, 
so that if I'm asked to look at this form again in 6 months, I don't 
have to remember that there's a setting way down at the bottom of the 
form where I never look that's causing a change!

Any suggestions
