Very good. Once you have M2Web running, it should take very little additional 
effort to
make it so that these reports can be generated live on demand. Only two things 
would be
required for normal HTML content:

    1)  Make an entry point in a MUMPS routine that will get the
        parameters it needs from the local arrays htInput and
        htUser and either WRITE out its content to the current
        device or SET the content into the variable htReturn.

    2)  Fill out a simple web form to define the top-level URL
        path that will respond with a call to the entry point.

Do the notes contain all of the data that a patient or the colleague would want 
to have in
a complete portable record?

If you want, we could perhaps connect this up to one or more of the M2Web/VistA
demonstration sites.

Although I have a good understanding of the Fileman data structures and was 
once familiar
with the internals of the applications, you may well be ahead of me in learning 
to work
with the Fileman API's. We (VMTH) stopped using Fileman in most production 
applications
long before the silent API's were developed because "Classic" Fileman would not 
play
nicely with a non-roll-and-scroll user interface. (Actually, I modified it to 
make it play
nicely for a number of years, but that's another story.)
