Thanks, Mark.

I am using Cerise, which has a Amrita-like templating system, rather 
than CGI.

I have a template that contains the following (moved from radio buttons 
to a drop-down box):

   <form method="post" action="form.ahtml">
      <div class="fields">
         <div>
            <label> Select Node: </label>
            <select name="option">
               <option id="node" value="node" selected="@__node">node 

               </option>
            </select>
         </div>
         <div class="submit">
            <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Select"/>
         </div>
      </div>
   </form>

And code that looks like:

   class Form < Cerise::FormHandler
     attr_accessor :option

     def load(request, response)
         {:node     => ["a", "b", "c"] }
     end
   end

I am not sure how to get the values back from the form.  Is it in 
@__node?  How do I set that programmatically?

I guess this maybe one for the guy who wrote Cerise ...
