Research direction

Start by locating the WEBSTE references in SYS3, SYSENG, EMACS1, and .INFO, then determine what the listed dictionary lookup entry points describe. Confirm the original Chaosnet server behavior and whether a usable WEBSTE implementation can be specified; completion would require a decided scope and an implementation path.
