Hi all,
I think that this question turned up a while ago, but I'm honestly not sure 
how to phrase it to search through the archives.

My question is: does a search engine spider dynamically generated 
pages.  For example, if I have a page http://myhost.com/ that has links 
in the page of the form 
http://myhost.com/apage.php?param1=foo&param2=bar
Will the engine spider that second link?

Thanks,
Raj.
PS: while I'm here, can I ask the *very* off-topic question of: is there a 
DOS equivalent of the Unix command pwd?

What you have here is an example of that well known phenomenon, A Bookshop

(probably some kind of arts graduate).
