I took a look through the Public Browser .ini file Adele and I think I
missed
how you set "approved" sites. I could easily set off limits sites using
the "NoAccess"
tag and variables, but setting of list of approved ones for our OPAC
units seems to
elude me. I suspect other lurkers here would like the same answer, and
I'm not afraid
to ask basic questions <g>

Generally though I would like to echo other opinions and say a very big
thanks
to Scott Vermeersch for the effort.
