Ah yes... That makes sense.
That's the solution I've used in other cases (for instance, resolving a CGI
param to a path.) Unfortunately, it's not really practical to define a bunch
of temporary variables for a form that may have hundreds (literally) of
input fields.
So, it looks like I'm back to where I was before: splitting the string on &
before I process %26.
That's still OK. It's a better solution than what I'm doing now.
Thanks again all (esp. Larry).
