RE: CGI Frameset -- WEB400

Continuing on that theme, if you want to include the results of a CGI
call, then you would replace the #include statements with #exec
statements.

The syntax for the #exec is as follows:

<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/specials" -->

Note there is no space between the initial <!-- and "cgi=".
Also note that there is exactly one space following the CGI program
name's closing quote, and before the closing --> characters.

Now, without thinking about it, I'd say you may end up having create
something like Frame1.html and in that HTML include you #exec SSI
statement. Then do a <FRAME src="frame1.html" NAME="MAINFRAME"> in the
original file.
There might be a way around doing that, but I'm a bit tired as you can
tell from my typos. :)
