I don't understand at all the 10 response, I assume it's supposed to be this cgi business, because i don't see anywhere where a .gmi page can prompt the user. Is that true? Either way, could someone point me to a simple example? (I am running jetforce right now, if that helps) > -- There's no way to prompt the user from within a static text/gemini document. You'll need a server with some kind of support for dynamic content to send the 10 status in response to a request. This is perhaps one of the the biggest conceptual differences between Gopher and Gemini. I don't see it as a big limitation in practice - a static document couldn't *do* anything with the user's response anyway, so there's going to need to be a CGI app or something similar involved anyway.
