-- added code to handle both old and new versions of TinyTable product
-- modified credits.txt
ver. 0.1.1 to 0.1.2
-- modified manage_delete call to conform to Python 1.5.2 syntax
-- fixed bug for disappearing subject text editing for plain vanilla version

to fix bug where site_url is incorrect if called from folders below Squishdot folder

-- Fixed problem with Path on cookies that meant you had to enter name and email address at each level in the folder structure.
