I prefer these communications all go to the list, which is why I have it. ;-)

Hmmm? Well if you run it then it does have two help pages. You need kdewebdev 
3.5.9 or Kommander 1.3. I've attached a test file so now if you run it with 
this in your home directory you will see it work.

It's much easier to start than to try to figure out the code in a program like 
a large CMS. I can understand any KDE program source C++ better and I've 
written thousands of times more PHP.

Yes, but moreover you can examine what I have done and see how to customize 
things for your use.

Please open kmdr-editor and got to the help. You can automate any shell 
script. I have a Kommander user list on our web site you can join where you 
can get all your questions answered.

In addition to this you can use the http plugin to read in a web page. From 
there you can use Kommander's string functions, PHP or other languages or any 
command line program. I use it with the database plugin to talk with my web 
site and synchronize databases.
