[Tutor] Questions on CGI script

[Ms Soo Chong]

Hi,

Kent, thank you so much for your reply. I will take a good
look of the cgi-shell and try it out tommorrow morning.
I will send you the Server Error if I happened to meet it 
again (hopefully NOT).

Anyway, should I create another .html file for the form or
type it in the script?

Thank you anyway for your help.
