That's fine. It just means storing database records in related text files and having the CGI stacks work with those. Revolution is very good at handling text files in any case, and their portability is probably an added benefit.

Hello everyone,
Jacqueline's Fiction Search example uses a text script cgi to search a
stack and display the results. Is it possible for users to add, delete,
and records in a similar database-like stack by posting from a web
form? My intuition tells me that the answer to this is no because that
would involve GUI commands such as Create Card, Delete Card, and Save
Stack (permissions). Am I correct?

I can create and delete cards, but I can't save the stack. Regardless of
the permissions set for the stack or where it is placed, the engine
needs to create a temporary backup file, and it can't do that. Or at
least, I can't make it do that. I also tried putting the save command in
a closestack handler in the stack's script (didn't work,) as well as a
custom handler that the cgi calls, but that doesn't work either.
