Ah, well then you'll like my app its _javascript_ and it doesnt do any
meta refreshes. It uses a webservice to talk to a database, but you
could use a file if you wanted to. So if you have any kind of
webservice accessing APIs (which microsoft is big on), you could at
least use it as a template
If you find it useful you can get the sources and api here:
