[cgiapp] Q: Any guidelines for paging thru db records via CGI params?

I am very interested, especially since I am using the same tools 
(CAP+TT+Rose). So, what would be even better than the plugin source is 
an example how you get everything organized. Just some "copy and paste" 
or whatever is quick and easy for you.

Thanks
