Good job, many thanks.

IMHO with the web pages we mainly talk to non-xbase programmers (
every xbase programmer probably knows about Harbour and surely knows
xbase... )

Samples and tutorials are critical part of the evaluation of a
computer language and worth much more than hundreds of pages of
documentation.

I would suggest to start with few samples and add more only after they
are carefully reviewed by the group ( we could create a new dir in the
svn to hold the official samples and demos, Viktor?  ).

Just few specific comments:

IMHO the Web section of samples uses outdated and overly complicated
code. THml class use should be avoided since it tries to hide a well
known and standardized HTML behind an undocumented and obscure code.

Probably everyone here has his own cgi implementation :) so surely we
can provide simpler samples that gives a better idea of how it's easy
to use Harbour with the web.

I would avoid ? for printing outstd() is more "compiler" style

I would add Mac OS X screens also ( I can help here )

We say Terminal/GUI but which is the GUI we provide?

The word "macro" can be misleaded we should use another term sth like
"dynamic code evalutation"?

best regards,
Lorenzo
