Hi Don,
Here's a clip of the key part of their page:
<Form action=http://www.ctsecurities.com/cgi-bin/quote/access method=Post>
<table>
<tr>
<td align=right>User I.D.:</td> <td align=left><input name=userid
value=></td>
</tr><tr>
<td align=right>Password :</td> <td align=left><input name=password
type=password></td>
</tr><tr>
<td colspan=2 align=center><input type=submit value="Submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</FORM>
>From this, it's clear that the two arguments they want passed are called
"userid" and "password". Try changing the end of your READ to:
.../access?userid=<myname>&password=<mypass>
and see what happens.
R.
