Hi,

"SELECTOR" is not really a CGI-aware environnement variable...

You might want to look at my manual:
http://www.grumpy-server.net/manual.pdf

There, at the chapter "Gopher CGI-style scripts", I described how all the
CGI thing is handled by my server - Grumpy. When implementing CGI in
Grumpy, I tried to stay as close as possible to the original CGI
standard.

For security reasons, Grumpy do not pass *any* data as parameters to CGI
scripts. The only way to provide external data to scripts is using
definied environnement variables.

I've put some cool Gopher CGI applications as examples of "what can be
done" at the following address (no sources provided, but I can provide
them on demand - all is written in FreeBASIC):
