Did you get the "Cannot find server or DNS Error" message, that Jeff
Silberberg got?  I recently changed my DNS service to www.zoneedit.com, and
I wonder if others are having that problem?

Are you referring to the subscription data pertaining to the user's current
session only?  That was by design.  But maybe I should prompt for and store
the data by user name for people who run the sample multiple times...

Internet Starter Page.  Hey, I like that!

Yes.

Yes, a unique "session" ID is automatically generated for each user.

As we discussed before, having a mechanism to automatically manage "state"
in a multi-user environment provides a basis for writing generic functions
like:

wwkSflClr() - clear subfile.
wwkSflWrt() - write subfile record.
wwkSflDsp() - display subfile.
wwkSflRdc() - read next changed subfile record.
wwkSflFldGet() - get subfile field value.

which allow developers to focus on the functional requirements of their
applications, rather than struggling over a lot of technical details.
