BUT i'm just relying on one variable in all pages.
<input name=xxx type=checkbox value=selection1>
<input name=xxx type=checkbox value=selection2>
<input name=xxx type=checkbox value=selection3>
Upon submission, $fdat(xxx) will just be a tab delimited string of
selection1, selection2, selection3, and others.
Thanks.
