Since you are already coding in ESQL/C, you could easily write your own functions that provide a count and select past the first entry. You need to twiddle with the singly linked list containing the form entries starting at t_cgi_entry *entrylist_1st (this is defined as a global variable). Examining the code in cgigetfrment.c, you'll see it's very simple. This is an FAQ for the kit.
