web access to oracle 7 database

I have Oracle web server 2.1 up and talking to an Oracle 7 database on the same machine. The sample apps work (only from the from the admin port). We have our own table with data that we can 'browse' (with Netscape from the network) through the admin listener port using the 'browse database' option. I can't seem to get anything working from the second web listener created during install. What are the steps I need to take to create our own front end that can see this data when a web user requests it? Specifically: Where do I put my HTML files? I don't want to overwrite the index.html file that is already in ows21/doc/ since this is the server admin file. Should I create a new directory and remap the listener to it?  How do I call procedures from the html file that will access the database? Are the SQL statements kept in the database or a separate file, and if so what directory do these go in? Our SQL programmer has tried modifying the sample apps but the system won't let him save anything. How do I change permissions to allow us to create and save files? Also is there a way around having to specify the port number in the URL of an html request? How do you access the webserver developers toolkit? The docs metion a 'web agent' but I see nothing but a pl/sql agent in the server admin page. I assume the docs are outdated. I have read the CD docs from front to back but I need an example or outline of one application to put this whole process in perspective. Any reading material you could suggest would also be helpful.
Thanks,
