  Well, VisRexx does a much better job of that than VB does, but I don't
want to do web authoring in VisRexx either. And it seems a bit senseless to
waste a lot of time learning one language (VB) to program in your word
processor to use while programming in another language (HTML, CGI, and
Java/Javascript/perl, whatever). Besides just simply adding to the confusion
and mental clutter.

>Can PERL or JAVA do that? If so, please provide me more information about

  Do you know of anyone doing web stuff in VB? Professionally, I mean? And
perl and java seem to be capable of just about anything. Java even
apparantly capable of creating artificial life forms.
