Or for something with a gentler learning curve:

http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZSQL

Go there and read the section on "Creating Search Interfaces."  Zope will
magically create a search query form and a table-formatted batching output
method on the back end, based on an SQL Query method of your own design.  So
read that, do that, and then look at the methods it creates.  I found it
very useful in getting up to speed on how to roll my own batching DTML
methods.

-cw-

PS - (OT rant warning) I have set everywhere I know of to tell %^#$@!
Outlook 2k to send PLAIN TEXT, but it's apparently WAY TO SMART to simply
let me do ASCII and leave me be.  If you have a solution (especially if it
involves high explosives), I'm all ears.  I don't hafta put up with this
kinda crap from my *nix boxes.  (Mutter grumble...)  If I could get an
Exchange(r)(tm)(c2000) client running on my Linus W/S, this thing would be
history sooo fast.  What a waste of a Pentium3 box...  (I feel a little
better now, thanks.)
