Sorry,
By the time I read your message I had it working.  The
puts is ESSENTIAL to the cgi.  All my headaches were
because the webserver I chose to test my cgi out with
didn't properly support a binary win32 cgi.  Switching
to Xitami fixed this.

STDIN and STDOUT are usually the screen.  But if a
webserver is calling the program (rather than
dos/windows) the STDIN/OUT should travel between the
client browser and the webserver.  Did that make any
sense?  I spent a week learning the basics of cgi so I
could do this, and all the while I had the code right,
but the webserver couldn't handle it properly :x
