It has been 7 or 8 years since I last did WO 4.5, and I am fishing  
out some books I have to refresh myself.  (Having done Openstep/ 
OPENSTEP Enterprise and Cocoa since) However, some various CGI stuff  
I had to do had a similar (not same, just generally similar) thing to  
appendToResponse where, after the CGI code spit out the right  
headers, you have to send to stdout the HTML etc to return to the  
browser.  I know that the components take care of most of that, but I  
would have thought from my lack of memory that appendToResponse:  
would do something similar, taking stdout and appending it to the  
stuff being sent back to the browser.  However, based on my  
experience above, this is not the case.


I assume this is RTFM and I need to go find my FM  this weekend...

Thanks for any comments though
