The specific text file Billie is referencing wasn't created by the form system, if it
had been the header she complained about would not have been out of synch with the data,
the forms align perfectly. It also creates some boilerplate that looks like

My BIG issue is that a visitor has no idea who to send comments,
updates or other donations to. The "Back" button on your browser is
NO help at all. It just takes you back to the website you jumped in
from. Not a page with information on the Archives.
Doing a simple page like that in HTML is really simple. Once you
have the template set up it takes maybe two minuted longer to add
the information, if that.
OK, look, I realize that redoing everything from scratch again would
be a MAJOR rebuilding project. I'm not suggesting that it should be
done. All I'm asking is how hard would it be to add the coordinators
name and address. Not easy, I know but isn't it a service to the
researcher that gets sent to the page for something. Are we here for
our benefit or theirs?
