Hi Jessica,

you can open form.html from anywhere -- on your desktop or laptop,
through the Web, whatever -- and it will be usable.

You don't need to add it to svn.

If you put it in your home ~/web/ directory, then you can access it at

	http://www.cse.msu.edu/~nermal/form.html

which in your case would be

	http://www.cse.msu.edu/~parksje3/form.html

I think.  You need to make sure that your web directory is
world-readable, which you can do like this:

	chmod a+rx ~/web/

and the files in there need to be world-readable,

	chmod -R a+r ~/web/

HTH!

cheers,
