[Tutor] webbrowser

[Michael Emperador]

I am running on Linux Suse7.2.  I have a form(on my personal site) that
calls this cgi script.
Based on input, it will redirect to another page on the server(i.e., a
personal page).  This is what I'm trying to open in a browser. I'm simply
trying to get to a another page based on user input.  I would greatly
appreciate your input and any advice you could share.

Mike
