Nope, wasn't really mixing up cgi & dgi. But I had missed reading dgi.txt -- or if I read it, it was long ago and I didn't see how it applied. NOW I know. <G> Michael manages to write "cgi scripts for DOS" because an HTML <FORM> won't do anything unless there is a cgi script waiting to do it. What Michael has done is give the DOS cgi approach a new name: DGI and instead of waiting on a server somewhere, the dgi script is defined in MIME.cfg and the actual "script" is wherever on your computer you put it... you just have to use full path to get there. I'd missed that part. I knew something was possible but until Marie told me to checkout the DGI text I didn't realize the answer was, as I'd surmised, in plain sight and I just didn't see it. l.d. -- -- Arachne V1.61, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
