[thelist] 1st line of ASP Scripts (option explicit/onerror/transaction)

Also, you cannot write headers to the client (i.e. response.cookies,
response.contenttype, etc.) after you write anything to the client, UNLESS
you turn on buffering (response.buffer = true; this must also come before
anything gets written to the client, and cannot be turned off once it's
turned on earlier in the same script).
