RE: Webworks question

[Ron Nelson <rnelson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many, many thanks to all who responded!

It sounds like conditional text and some form of embedded HTML may have been
the route to go, but I must admit that in my impatience I mucked around and
think I came up with a way that actually works (just noticed that David
Knopf suggested the same thing).  Rather than using conditional text and
embedding the HTML, I retained the hypertext marker by mapping creating a
new style in WWP based on the body style but including a form code.  The
answers to the questions are located in appendix A of the manual, so split
the appendix file at numberedlist para tag and each answer is a seperate
file that is called up be the Answer button under the question.

I am, however, very intriqued by Michael Richards suggestions and the use of
PERL, Apache, and PHP:

I'm just starting down the long and winding road of learning PERL, et al but
these are the kinds of suggestions that spur  me on in my quest for
guruness...and many that know me would question how intact my sanity is
already, so there's one worry out of the way!

Many, many thanks- I'm now ready to put place great pressure on the powers
that be to purchase WWP.
