ok I have the CGI script that will generate an html page based on what the user selects. I also want to give the user the oportunity to choose one of many different text files that can also be inputted into the html page via the cgi script. I have the opening tags and closing tags and tables set up in the script. The addition I would like to put in is between the lines with the ##################### to help you find it. Thanks for any suggestions you can make
