 You'll have to write a wrapper (e.g. in Perl or PHP). Then you could
 parse the
 output. If you set up a simple template that just returns the things you
 want to know separated by, say, a |, and omit the header and footer,
 then you
 can write a really simple parser. Your parse script can do the markup
 later on.

Thanks.  
The "wrapper script" appears to be working, EXCEPT that I haven't found the 
syntax to communicate more than one argument to htsearch.  (ie, what do I 
have to say on command line, in place of:
    htsearch.cgi?words=lamps&format=builtin-short

In a url, the "&" separates arguments; what's the comparable syntax on the 
unix command line?  

If there's an FAQ where this kind of thing is answered, please advise where .
