    web_submit_form("employee.exe",
        ITEMDATA,
        "name=persons", "value=John Green - John", ENDITEM,
        "name=go_page", "value=Go to Page", ENDITEM,
        LAST );

    web_url("index.html", "URL=http://dogbert/groups/library/index.html", LAST );

        ITEMDATA,
        "name=library.TITLE", "value=Practical UNIX Security", ENDITEM,
