However, the Webcatalog (2.01) Admin page is relatively unclear on the append command. More to the point, it has only two choices:(*) Allow all commands (Security: Anonymous visitors can issue $Append command remotely) (*) Only the following commands may be issued by anonymous visitors:This seems to indicate that non-anonymous users (ie logged in with a valid name and password) should be allowed to have access to any webcatalog function that a page calls. Perhaps this could be cleared up for future users by indicating on the pref page that admins are the ONLY non-anonymous users to webcatalog. Brian B.
