Good catch - I realized after posting that I'd only described part of the
solution. Maybe we need CommandLineOptionU page?

Anyway, original credit from me would be to the effbot, whom I remember
giving me pretty much the advice that I gave you (though naturally without

Glad it works. For low-volume intranet stuff CGI is still eminently
workable, and adequate, and easily-managed. Locally (like, your own
localhost interface)
