Something like that yes.
However, we should have a form where we can fill in which page to view if
you follow the first link. The HTML version for that page is at
http://www.svt.se/texttv/100.html It's worth to note that the form works in
Arachne (CGI instead of JS). To get the WAP form to work in Arachne we
either need to add a small hack (or complete support) to get the following
to work:

<do type="accept" label="F&#xF6;reg. sida"><prev/></do><do type="options"
label="SVT Text"><go href="700.wml"/></do><do type="options"
label="Inrikes"><go href="101.wml"/></do><do type="options"
label="Utrikes"><go href="104.wml"/></do><do type="options"
label="Ekonomi"><go href="200.wml"/></do><do type="options"
label="Sport"><go href="300.wml"/></do><do type="options"
label="TV-tabl&#xE5;"><go href="600.wml"/></do></template><card id="c100"
title="Nyheter(100)"><do type="options" label="N�sta sida" name="next"><go
href="101.wml"/></do><p><img src="SVT.wbmp" alt="SVT"/><br/>---- SVT TEXT
----</p>
<do type="accept" label="G� till sida"><go href="$(sida).wml"/></do>

The statment <go href="$(sida).wml"/> goes to the page (page in swedish is
"sida") inputed in some sort of form (for instance entering 300 would go to
the sports pages).

And the other option would be convert the form into JS, but as I stated
earlier we don't have JS in Arachne anyway.

>Then it *should* be very easy to add WAP support to Arachne. :)

For simple pages yes, for more complicated no. For those we need support
for WMLScript.
I'll read up a bit on the WML 1.1 standard and see if it's easily possible
to add support for it into Arachne.
