Ok here is what I mean by having a form remember what was typed into it.

First a person fills out a form and it saves the information into a text database (IE. Configureration Form). Then they decide that they want to change one thing in the database file, so they go back to the form. At this point when they look at the form they see what they entered before already filled into the form so now all they have to do is to change that one field on the form. Then the form updates the database with the new settings.

Does that make since? I seen this done before but I have had no clue on how they done it. Also like I said before, I am very new at writing perl scripts and I am now just starting to learn. Basically I just gathered scripts that does somewhat what I need and then change it to what I need. Shoot I really dont even know how to write a perl script that saves to a file.. lol. But I am a fast learner, my first script that I ever built was a simple form to math script (like a shopping cart).

Thanks in advance...
