        I'm missing something.   What CGI variable holds the  "extra
info"  after the  "real path".   By example,  if someone requests

                http://myserver/htbin/imagemap/mapname?x,y

        resulting in

                GET /hbtin/imagemap/mapname?x,y [HTTP/1.0]

        I would expect

                PATH_TRANSLATED=/server/root/hbtin/imagemap
                PATH_INFO=mapname
                QUERY_STRING=x,y

        (where PATH_INFO might alternatively be "/mapname")
