I actually figured out the problem....

I had to ALSO change the POST var for datapage.  That worked... with  
maybe another nudge or two.  It's live, it works.

My hack takes $_POST['simile'], splits it on linebreaks, then creates  
a new page for each sentence in the resulting array (skipping empty  
lines).

Then it attempts to use FASTData to create the new pages & data pages  
for all that info -- but it has to pass over FASTData for every page,  
which is why I asked for you to create a flag to stop your function  
(Data) from stopping the program execution.

Yeah -- it was pointing at the right page, but the data was all being  
written to the wrong (single) page.

It works right now... and I have the (:data:) and  {*$Work} set up in  
the GroupHeader.

It's on a live site, but page edits are passworded.  Otherwise I've  
been working on a development server not accessible from the net.  I  
got it working, and once PM has the pagelists sorted out I would love  
to share what I've done.  With details :)
