I changed the code slightly in newpageboxplus to achieve a cleaner
page open. I uploaded the updated script.

Previous code fragment in function HandleNew:

  if (@$_REQUEST['save']) {
     .....
     .....
     WritePage($newpage, $new);
     $urlfmt = '$PageUrl?action=browse';
     }
  Redirect($newpage, $urlfmt);

New code fragment:

  if (@$_REQUEST['save']) {
     .....
     .....
     WritePage($newpage, $new);
     Redirect($newpage);
     }

This seems to work better. Redirecting to the newly written page opens
it in a way that makes it possible to do what you are trying to do.
Why this change in the code has this effect I don't know though.


The other question:

I don't think it is, since any normal link programmed to create new
pages and automatically save them will be triggered by search-engine
robots.
