The form calls the CGI script. 

The CGI script either dynamically generates the HTML of the next
page, or else it spews a Location: header, which sends you to 
another URL.

If you cannot *edit* this script, and you cannot use a *different*
script, then you have to live with the capabilities of *this* script.

You know what RTFM means?  If your instructor teaches you 
*anything*, it should be this: "when all else fails, read the 
instructions."
