I think Helen is trying what I once did... I wrote a script that setup a cgi web area using a template cgi script. The script changed the variable settings directly in the script.
If I knew then what I know now.. I would have setup a file that contained these variable values and never touch the cgi script. Then the rest of the script would just copy some files into directory and setup a webpage to link to the cgi info. Because I did it the "dumb" way it took me 4 times longer to get it to work right. > -----Original Message----- > From: John W.
