Seth,

Well, we are standardized on IE5 here.  I've downloaded
Netscape "6" but it barfs everytime I open it.

Anyway, I agree that it doesn't make sense.  It really
pi**ed me off, in fact.  Which is why I just gave up
and went with Plan B, which was to use the GET method.

<tip>
Two Rules to Prevent Frustration:
1.  Always have a plan B.
2.  If you have a plan B, don't sweat it if plan A doesn't work.
</tip>

Maybe this is why Perl programmers seem to be such a
cool bunch, "there's more than one way to do it."

Thanks for looking into it Seth,
