could u tell me how should i do it?



If you mean a public web page with normal Internet security
restrictions you cannot launch an exe at all (for very obvious
safety/security reasons).

Richard.

I presume that means one cannot create a file from scratch to use for variable memory common to a number of web pages that call each other?


Not on an Internet site. If it's Intranet you have possibilities.

If true, and since cookies are said to be not reliable, then it would seem to be impossible for a 100% client-side JavaScript based web page set to have shared variables.


True, cookies are not reliable. Put the site in a hidden frame scenario and keep your variables in the frameset.

If that is possible, then how could it be implimented?


See above.

I ask because i am trying to save a goodly chunk of money that would be required for a server-side solution.


PHP and Apache are free so where is that "goodly chunk of money" going to be spent?
My ISP wants $$ to impliment security on my proposed web pages.
I do not want anyone to type in the full URL of any of the web pages and have them work - except the index.html "root".
I have figured out a way that page#1 can "call" page#2 which can "call" page#3 etc and one can use the back button successfully - but the (stored) state variable can be used to prevent any other kind of entry.
