 	Hi all. This has not been enabled for users because it is possible 
to mess things up with someone opening a string of recursive PINE and Lynx 
sessions. It needs to be buttoned down so only one session can be opened. 
It's on the tech to-do list but there are a number of higher priority 
items above it.
