Tried this, and in a matter of moments had input field/submit button on the 
testpage. A nice surprise, in that I really didn't think any of this was 
built into the weblet already :)

Yes and thanks to James for that. But I think I had better not complicate 
this any further, and so I'll skip that for now. (Especially since I don't 
know the difference between GET and POST, I don't know what I would 
potentially gain?)

Yes, though I have had no success yet, I'm pretty confident that I will 
eventually understand the mechanics of these.

Thanks to Greg too, for the links to Bill Weinman's site. Unfortunately the 
site is still somewhat out of order, and the sh-cgi-link gets me a perl-page 
instead :(

Clearly this part is even more complicated than I'd anticipated, but since 
I've found some other references to sh-cgi handling, I'm pretty sure I can 
crack this...

Thanks again for the input ;)
