So you need that html-like program style even when not
running within a web-server environment ?


Well, why not a simple Python example at the same time :-)

$ python
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, May 21 2011, 22:09:43) [DECC] on OpenVMS
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>>
 >>> print "Hello World!"
Hello World!
 >>>  Exit

$


Or something maybe more usable. List users in UAF whith
interactiv logins, sorted on last login timestamp:

$ python

from vms import user, starlet

def fcmp(u1, u2):
     return cmp(u2.lastlogin_i, u1.lastlogin_i)

all_username_values = user.all_users().values()
all_username_values.sort(fcmp)

for a_user in all_username_values :
    if a_user.lastlogin_i > 0 :
       print "%-20s %s" % (a_user.username,
             starlet.asctim(a_user.lastlogin_i)[1])

<user1>               14-AUG-2011 11:08:00.39
<user2>               25-APR-2011 14:19:53.14
<user3>               24-FEB-2011 10:25:17.60
<user4>               11-AUG-2008 17:35:31.55
<user5>               13-JAN-2002 22:11:04.85


Less then 10 lines of code...

One of the nice things with the Python port is the large
amount of VMS specific interfaces. And the Rdb interface.
