CGI question: Getting form name to cgi script

[Joel Hammer]

I must be stupid or tired but:

Fooling around with CGI.

I have created an  html page with multiple forms on it. When I hit the
submit button, I don't see where the form name is being sent to the
web server.  This makes it hard to process the forms properly. What am
I missing?

Another question: Is there a way to submit data from your browser to a
cgi script without going through a form?

Thanks,
Joel
