A new CGI means I need to find the “little” things that I don’t know, like binding directory usage (& other stuff that you likely take for granted).
A call to a new module avoids some issues but I don’t know how to “unbind” a module if this method leads nowhere.
Expanding existing pgm is the least risky scheme. i just need to figure out how to render a new screen (html) and get the input fields. File update & return to main logic should be a snap.
Thus the vague question – so many ways to do this and they all could work.

How would you do it if it wasn’t accessed via CGI? If you already have a procedure available, just pass the values into it. If not, how would you do it from a green-screen that presented a similar data field and called an update program to make the change to the file?
