Hi Donald,
this source also says that it uses the POST method, so you won't be
able to retrieve the page with a simple URL that includes the
parameters. Take a look at the thread "loading a web page resulting
from cgi post" I started monday. (should be messages numbered:
47946, 47977, 47979, 47990 if yow want to request them from SELMA)
I didn't have the time dureing the last days to test this, but it
looks very good.
Good luck,
Tom
