That does indeed work, but the URL for the specific page is still displayed in the path on the browser

I'm not sure what you mean. If you put:

print "Location: /icons/left.gif\n\n";

at /cgi/leftarrow, it'll run the script and display a left arrow, but the URL will still remain the CGI location. I thought that's what you wanted.

Actually, you may be running a non-standard web server (something other than Apache). If that's the case, you should disclose that so I stop trying to bring Apache-specific knowledge into the discussion.

Sorry Merlyn, for the long delay in my response. I am using apache, and I do need to hide the url path displayed in the browser from the user.

I'm a little unclear as to what you mean with :

at /cgi/leftarrow, it'll run the script and display a left arrow, but 
+the URL will still remain the CGI location.

Thanks
