Thanks for clearing up.  It is not in my priority list now so I will override
that method later.

However, even a "get" form, when submitted, would have the submit button's
name and value in the querystring (
becomes ?run=go) ... without that, the form isn't really submitted...

Also just to point out that in the "comment on this page" link on
mems-exchange site, if you put in a "=" sign in the querystring, the subject
line will become empty.  However, a %3D would be ok, and it would turn out to
be a "=" sign in the subject field....  And since you (the programmer) can
often control what is in the querystring, this should be ok.  So the moral of
the story is always use url_quote on links...  Just want to point this out
because this "=" sign thing has me stuck for a while...
