Oh bloody hell--user generated error.  What I'd done was typed in a web
address for a machine that has a DNS entry, but isn't currently turned
on.  The web form just froze.

It might be nice to have your form generate an error message if you tell
it to retreive a URL from a machine that's not responding; say, in 15
seconds.

Sorry to bother you.

Sincerely,
