I did manage to get form postings to work though (wahey!!). I used the lines: read-io system/ports/input data: 2000 2000 post: decode-cgi data and I`ve managed to pick up the contents of the form but (isn`t there always) it appears to be picky as to when I can access the values that have been decoded. I have a line that pulls some of the info from the form and builds up the contents of an e-mail. So for example as part of my message I have: message: rejoin [ "name:" name newline . and so on ... I get an error message displayed saying: "Script Error: name has no value" While if I (for testing purposes) have the line "print post" above the message building, it has no problem obtaining the name value. What could be causing this strange problem and anyway to get around it without having to display the test info ? Ed.
