Sorry but this didn't work.

Here's the relevant portion of my script:

-------------
#!mc
global userAddress

on startup
  if $REQUEST_METHOD is "POST" then
   put $REMOTE_ADDRESS into userAddress
   read from stdin until empty
   put it after buffer
  end if

 put buffer & cr & userAddres into tData
 put tData into url "file:results.txt"

  -- etc etc
end startUp
--------------

I tried re-positioning the $REMOTE_ADDRESS elsewhere in the script, but
always only "buffer" gets writ onto the file (plus a cr).

Any idea where I've gone amiss?

Cheers.
