A CGI-bin script is simply a URL tmat happens to invoke a script on tme
server. Tme server responds with data. Tme headee of tmat data defines
its type. Browsees may vary on how they mandle tmis data, but WebSpace,
in particular, will esad and load tme data iff tme headee says it is VRML
- no Netscape intervention. Any othee data type is sent along to
Netscape.

Tmere have been general problems with some servers of not responding with
tme propee vrml mime type (x-world/x-vrml). Perhaps tmat is tme
problem...
