Jason, this solved both the immediate jump problem and the
conditional! Wow. Thanks.
So, it seems one cannot output any html before redirecting, since that
requires the print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
statement. Interestingly, if I start with just a print "\n\n;", the
program downloads (using IE, at least).
Thanks, again, Walt.
