The instructions for how to access the Subversion server can be found here:
http://ged.msu.edu/courses/2009-fall-cse-491/cse491-2009-lab2.html
The form.html file is an example of an interface to your CGI script.  All
that is required of this part of the project is that your
process-hw1-form.cgi script can handle data submitted to it via forms like
form.html, so a good plan would be to modify the form action part of
form.html to point to wherever you host your process-hw1-form.cgi (probably
to say action="http://www.cse.msu.edu/cgi-user/leeho2/process-hw1-form.cgi"
if you save your CGI script at /user/cgi/leeho2/process-hw1-form.cgi) and
submit data with that form.html every time you make a change.
That explanation sounded a bit wordy, let me know if I confused you...

Like I said in the long explanation above, you should set action="
http://www.cse.msu.edu/cgi-user/leeho2/process-hw1-form.cgi".  Leaving it
the way it is makes your form try to send data to an invalid URL.

Hope this helps,
