Subject: Can I put Multiple handlers in a CGI script?

Nope. The 'startup' message is the only message MC sends/fires in a CGI script (I
think), but it's just another Metatalk message and follows all the same rules as all
the others (no nested handlers). From within the 'startup' handler, you can reference
any number of other standard or custom handlers/functions/etc. Like this:
-- start of script --
on startup
if firstchar(the platform) = char 1 of the systemVersion then
doDance "Windows?"
else
doDance "Mac?"
end if
writeSomething
end startup
function firstChar pCharString
return char 1 of pCharString
end firstChar
on doDance pDanceType
tellSomeone "Are you running" && pDanceType
end doDance
on tellSomeone pMessage
put "Content Type: text/html" & cr \
& "Content Length:" && length(pMessage) & cr & cr
put pMessage
end tellSomeone
on writeSomething
put "Uhhhhh...."
end writeSomething
-- end of script --

The 'startup' message has no params, but you can create other handlers in your CGI
script that use'em (see above).
