    I am needing to test a script within a cgi-bin. On my workstation I am using MS Frontpage 2000 and in the directroy it doesn't have a bin. Can I just create a folder and name it accordingly? Will it work?

    I think you have to set up the permissions for that folder. Any folder is able to do what a bin does, it just needs to be setup.

    Front page also uses another type of private folder to put it's scripts (bots) in...I can't remember off the top of my head though. (maybe it is _private)?

    You will need to have Perl or some other CGI language installed for you to be able to properly use a cgi-bin. In Unix/Linux, there are some particular chmod commands you need to set for the directory to allow CGI execution.
