Claude and Dale,
Thanks for the effort. I still have the problems wit oCookie.read/write.
Everything else works fine includig ASPDump wich also reads the cookie.
I will leave it now until I get my new computer system next week.
In between I changed the main case statement to accept any filename in the
action= parameter. Action=beer will do:
lcHTMLout= oHTML.mergescript(fileToString("beer.htm")
I tested it with simlist1.htm.

<%
SELE * FROM Customer INTO CURSOR tCursor
lcHTMLfile = 'custlist.htm'  && html template
lcHTMLout= FILETOSTR(oProp.HtmlPath+lcHTMLfile)
%>
<%=oHTML.htmlTable('customers',lcHTMLout,10,.T.,'#E5E5E5',.F.,VAL(oRequest.querystring("page")),oRequest.querystring("nav"))%>

This is the simple change in the main case statement:

* mods RGJ ,accept existing .htm files
CASE LEN(ALLTRIM(oProp.Action))>0 
	lcHTMLfile= oProp.HtmlPath + oProp.Action + '.htm'
	IF ! FILE(lcHTMLFile)
		lcHTMLfile = oProp.HtmlPath + 'default.htm'
	ENDIF
	lcHTMLout= FILETOSTR(lcHTMLfile)
	lcHTMLout= oHTML.mergeScript(lcHTMLout) && was mergetext
	
OTHERWISE

You can imagine that in this situation nesting MergeScript in scripts would be very convenient.
