I bought a script for an on-line word-like text editor where several users can
work on the document. The instructions are minimal; it only says to upload
to the server, set permissions, and go. But the script also requires the use of
several .html pages. I'm going to try to put the .html pages on the public_html
and point to the cgi script.

But I hoped I could just upload to the server and go, as the docs say. I would
send the code, but since I paid for it (nominal 10 bucks, but payment nonetheless),
I probably should not.

It says free installation support, but the guy never wrote back.
