In a nutshell, yes. Where is that magic ptr to the data in the fields?

Do you mean the html source or the c/c++ source? I didn't find any c/c++
source for the prc on his site (or anywhere for that matter).

Believer in opensource/free software (esp. development tools), and I have
other ideas this could be used in, such as sudo-cookies: Instead of a real
submit button, the submit is a palmcall which stores the cookie info in it's
database, then forwards on the request (using INet or maybe a gotoURL
w/clipper) after doing some data validation.
On ThinAirMail, when you want to see your settings, it makes a wireless
connection. If there was a sudo-cookie with your settings stored, it would
only need to make a connection if you changed your settings, saving you a
few bytes to read mail with.
BTW, I really appreciate you taking the time to help me on this. Being
relatively new to palm os programming (but not to programming in general) I
sometime overlook the obvious. Like the formspy.pl script that comes with
Poser. Knowing about that a few days ago would have saved me quite a few
hours of C coding...

<hint to palm> of course if palm just made the source to clipper available,
all of this would be mute </hint to palm> ;)
