<blush!> Coming from you that is gratifying!
Here's how it manifests:
A CGI project involving forms.
Forms may be either "new" or "edit", and that "mode"
is described by the first part of the virtual document
path (path part 1).
path part 2 is the phase:
"open" => either "new" form or "edit" form filled in
from database record
"review" => after posting form gives review of
data added or changed .
"write" => third page, signaling successful write
of data to database (either update or new
record) and presenting
another URL with "open" as path part 2.
Example:
http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/script.py/new/open =>
http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/script.py/new/review =>
http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/script.py/new/write =>
http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/script.py/new/open =>
