lesson to learn CGIs

[-= JB =-]

I have downloaded Andre's files and can get them to work without any  
problems.
Yes, I am new to all of this so maybe the wording is confusing me.   
Andre said
his was the First On-Rev based CMS and Blog. Jacque has a lesson on CGI
which stands for Computer Gateway Interface.  For some reason I was  
thinking
these were two different ways of accessing the web and using  
Revolution.  I
was thinking the CGI gives you more ability to use Rev stacks and  
scripts and
Andre's was not actually using the engine so no need to install it.
