It keeps the original formatting. numero = 59957
interpreted = N
texte = Cmd is short for command. If you look in the WebCat Admin, there is asection that says Only the following commands may be issued by non-administratorsShowPage, Search, FlushCache, ShowCart, Add, Remove, NewCart, Purchase,NewCartSearch, ClearThat is why you get the Authentication Box. If all commands are allowed,someone could issue the delete command on one of your databases and wipe itout right from the browser. They would have to know where it was locatedand the name of the db but that would not be hard to figure out in aStoreBuilder site.Sal D'Anna-----Original Message-----From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com] On Behalf OfTerry WilsonSent: Tuesday, November 09, 2004 11:11 AMTo: WebDNA TalkSubject: secret [cmd] variable?I stumbled upon something rather interesting today.
