Dear Peter

Thank you very much  - I simply cloned the default Template.pm module being 
used as per your instructions and inserted a little snippet of html code in 
the sub show_result section such:-
--SNIP
 return <<EOF;
    <dl>
        <dt>$this_result->{swishreccount} 
<a href="$this_result->{swishdocpath_href}">$title</a> 
<small>-- rank: <b>$this_result->{swishrank}</b></small></dt>
        <dd>$description
        <HR>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/email.pl">
<input name="File" type="hidden" id="File" value="$this_result->
{swishdocpath}">
E-mail this file to ...
<input name="Email" size="60" type=text value="";>
<small> (insert full email address of recipient)</small>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" 
value="Send!">
</form>
<HR>
        $props
        </dd>
    </dl>

EOF
--SNIP

However I have one more request please.

We start the program that runs swish from a Unix shell script and pass the 
search parameters from this script. As you can see from the snippet above we 
have to enter the email address into the 'html form' created in swish before 
we can email the indexed PDF to the recipient - we know broadly what is in 
the file so don't need to read it.

Is there any way of including 1 or more 'dummy / user defined parameters' in 
the swish-e shell script that are simply passed through the swish program ( 
and ignored by it ) but are 'recoverable' and usable in the form snippet so 
that one would not have to manually reenter the email address etc manually  -
 you would just simply click on the Send button

e.g.
--SNIP
 <dd>$description
        <HR>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/email.pl">
<input name="File" type="hidden" id="File" value="$this_result->
{swishdocpath}">
<input name="Email" type"hidden" id="Email" value="$this_result->
{dummy_param_passedthroswish_emailaddress}">
E-mail this file to $this_result->{dummy_param_passedthroswish_emailaddress}
--SNIP


Other parameters that would be useful to pass through would be for example 
client_name , user_name, unix_user_name, pdf_printer_name.

Thank you

Richard
