As I expressed to him in a private reply, Gilles is a lifesaver. :)
This was indeed my problem, and after long experimentation I finally hit
on a slightly different solution that works very well, but I wouldn't
have gotten where I am were it not for the help I received.
What I ended up doing is passing the string I want to append as a CGI
variable, sucking that into htsearch.cc, then setting up a htdig
variable in Display.cc with that value. Now I can use my tracking number
string in the header/footer/syntax/nomatch documents, and I've created a
template for the results that does exactly what I want. If there is
interest I will post a patch, but as all good solutions are *after* you
arrive at them it turned out to be very simple. :)
many many thanks,
Doug
