command-line arguments to CGI scripts? I'm probably dense, but doesn't CGI scripts usually get their arguments via environment variables and stdin ? and chr(1) and "hide\?" sure don't look like standard URL separators to me... if you want standard CGI argument handling, the "cgi" module contains all the tools you need. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
