What should>the process I take be so that the database contains exactly what was typed?> Do I need a convertchars when I'm appending? Should it be surrounded in>an [input]? I'm at a loss here.This is actually a pretty tough one, because WebCatalog automatically'un-url-izes' everything as it comes in (which is almost always a reallygood idea).
