I think that I just said this yesterday, if you are developing for WebStar/MacHTTP CGI's, use Frontier. It will save you a lot of headaches. tutorial on how to do forms in Frontier: http://www.clearink.com/fun_stuff/frontier/ If you are doing the CGI for a unix box, do a yahoo search for wwwlib or cgilib or wwwcgilib or something along those lines. There are a few library files floating around that have a function to parse out the POST args. -jon Jon S.
