Cindy, read my reply to this. You are mistaken. There is actually a way
to make a single script do all kinds of different operations. I have
single scripts that show a list of records, add a new record, update a
record, and delete a record, all in the same script. This is more
efficient to do because if the webserver is configured correctly, it will
cache the script thereby preventing re-compilation of the script code.
