Thanks for replying, Mark!
In terms of a full session......well, it would be *nice*, but I can probably
work around it. But how do I run just a single app or two? (If it's too
lengthy a process to describe, could I trouble you to point me to a relevant
tutorial? I'm investigating good books on the subject to learn it myself,
but apparently the post office hasn't invented transporters yet so I find
myself searching for solutions a little quicker...:)
Cheers,
Steven Hamblin
