on startup
   # loop over all of the global variables, getting name and value
   repeat for each item i in the globals
    put i && "=" && value(i)& return after buffer
   end repeat
   # write minimal set of HTTP headers to stdout
   read from stdin until empty
   put it after buffer
   replace cr with "<P>" in buffer
   put "Content-Type: text/html" & cr
   put "Content-Length:" && the length of buffer & cr & cr
   put buffer
end startup
