Re: HTTP server beginners questions

Hi Dave

Welcome to the wonderful world of WWW - this DOES set the library list 
for what is called - I Googled for the environment variable and went to 
this 1st hit -

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/cgi-frequently-asked-questions-0

There you can find the question, "How can I change the library list for 
my CGI program?", which tells us that "The listed libraries replace the 
libraries in the user part of the library list. When the CGI program has 
finished processing, these libraries will be removed from the library 
list and the library list will be restored to what it was before the CGI 
program ran."

Pretty cool - you get to change to exactly what is needed in the HTTP 
server job, just for anything called through this setup.
