1 represent stdout, which is *usually* the screen, but in the case of a 
web server running a cgi stdout points to the webserver, which in turn 
(depending on what you've sent it) sends that data on to the client 
broswer.  In my case "Location: /resource.xxx\n\n", tells the webserver 
to send resource.xxx (ispalying.gif) to the client, rather then html 
code, which would be "Content-Type: text/html\n\n".

I got it working, it was the webserver (www.analogx.com, SimpleServer 
WWW) that was causing the trouble.  I switched to Xitami, and have it 
working correctly now.  I was trying to use the AnalogX server beause 
it's small and super easy to set up (follows my program methodology: 
KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid!).  But Xitami is a really good open 
source server, that came highly recommended (by Euphoria members, no 
less :) ), so Xitami it is.  And Xitami isn't hard to setup and use, 
it's just *more* complicated than AnalogX.

Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.
