Yes, but you need to change the return statement to:
return http_OK_header & myStaticPagePart1 & myCounterValue &
myStaticPagePart2
If you don't provide the response type to the webserver i guess it will just
end in an error.

In a stay-open script which name ends with ".acgi" so it is recognized by
the webserver as a executable CGI application.

http://yourIPAddress/cgi-bin/myCounterScript.acgi
Where the name of the "cgi-bin" folder can vary from server to server..
"cgi-bin" is the name of the Webstar CGI folder.

This goes in the header of the HTML page?
Yes, the HTML page created within your CGI, passed to the webserver which
will send it to the browser.

I think you can let it just unchanged.

Where does this go?
At the end of the 'handle CGI request' handler.
