I have the need to collect form data from a html form and send the
data to an ascii file on the server. Once the data is in place I would
like for a program to print the results to a printer connected to the
server.

Does CGI support these types of functions? I have seen the results of
data from a form sent to an email address (mailto:)... the results
were the name of the field and the contents of the field, seperated by
a character (can not remember the character). Can a CGI script be told
to remove the field name leaving only the data and write the file to a
harddisk?

I would appreciate a response via email rather than to retrieve it
from here.

Thanx
