This is really a slick feature which I wasn't aware of so far. Is this
an undocumented feature ? This is not mentioned in the FORMs overview document
(http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/SDG/Software/Mosaic/Docs/fill-out-forms/overview.html)
Is there any other document out there with these kind of features?

Is the INPUT tag with TYPE= "hidden" respected by the Mosaic clients other
than Xmosaic?

Thanks for the info!
