dynamic pages and page.cgi
Realizing 1) static pages can take up a lot of room fast, 2) static pages require waiting for periodic "build" commands to become available, and 3) the site is supposed to be as self-maintaining as possible, I've decided to look at going entirely dynamic.

As I understand it, dynamic pages take up little space, are instantly available upon approval (without a "build"), and require little in the way of maintenance.

I've looked all over, and cannot find anything that actually tells me how to make the site dynamic. Sure, I found the setting in the Build Setup page, but other than that I have a cryptic reference to page.cgi. I suspect I have to set my HTML links to point to page.cgi, passing specific arguments when a desired function is needed.

The big question: where can I find a list of valid page.cgi arguments for and their definitions, so I can make it humm? I see knowledgable people tossing them about like beer at a tailgate party, but nothing points me to anything that looks like proper documentation!
