Subject: Re: can't override a cgi function, please help

That was actually the first thing I tried but I figured I would just 
trial and error my way through soem Ruby syntax and class << CGI was my 
next guess.  Thanks for clarifying the difference.  As it happens 
though, this makes no difference.  Again, I think this may have 
something to do with the input(attributes) function at the bottom of the 
  original cgi class.  Something about these variables get precidence 
over any overriding variables???

Me no understand...
