I'm playing around with the CGIDEV2.  I am trying to write a CGI program.  I
was trying to make whole program contained inside one program.  So I have a
HTML file that displays the question what is your name. Basically you just
call http://....../cgi-bin/yourname.pgm and it displays the html.  But then
I want it to display the results of the variable name if they are not equal
to blanks.  But for some reason when I do the name = zhbgetvar('name') and
request = zhbgetvar('request') it always returns blanks.  Other examples
that are similar that came with CGIDEV2 seem to work but my example always
returns blanks in both the name field and the request field.  I'm even
printing it out to make sure.

Thanks in advance...
