[Xitami] Another Try, (little different approach), -

[tom buckley]

  Thanks Ron, "AND Lois"

  I have about decided that I am also having problems with the cgi script 
itself, for the following reasons, unless someone here might recognize 
something else I should do.
  I CAN make the opening page "template file" include the index.cgi file 
which allows me to set that page up using html etc;  HOWEVER, the script 
automatically builds additional pages as you go, (it's like a blog or bb 
script), as well as it auto-prints page numbers "on the fly"  ie: [Page: 
1.2.3...] into that page, BUT that first page is the ONLY page that seems to 
be using the <include>!!  IOWs when you click one of the additional page #s, 
you are sent directly to the index.cgi instead of everything remaining 
inside of the template page....  hope @ makes sense!!   So although I AM 
able to link to the template.shtml page where it is working correctly, and 
the index.cgi is included into the html design etc; once you click to go to 
another page of the script, all of this is gone!   Sorry so long and 
confusing, but I really do appreciate all of your help and consideration.  
Have a good day!  harthon
