That's not it.  I have no trouble with POSTing form data to my 400.  What
the MSDN article seems to say is that you can put editable HTML elements
*inside* a form.  Then those elements can be POSTed to the server.

I want to let the user write/change a piece of HTML in a WYSIWYG
environment and post that generated HTML to the server, so I can store said
HTML in a physical file.  I do not want the user to store the generated
HTML on his hard drive.

So.....you're just trying to understand how to get HTML Form data to the
AS/400?  Is that correct?  And then you'll have to do something with that
Form data once it gets to the AS/400, right?  Is that what you're trying to
understand?  If it is...

If I might suggest a tutorial that will teach you how to do this....click
on
this link if you're interested in such a beast.....--->

If that's not it, then I apologize because if that's not it, then I'm still
not understanding your question.
