CGI scripts/forms

[Cynthia D Bertelsen]

I for one would like to know how to do basic cgi-based forms and would 
greatly appreciate input from someone who can make it seem EASY to do.
Please guide me to the Web sites, etc. that might give a "recipe" for 
setting up a search form for a Web Page.  I have a few books on 
Web Page construction but the cgi-based information is not totally clear.

Thanks in advance.
