Good to have you back, Jeff!

Yes, indeed, I meant exit the application, not the whole session.
However, as we have app-level security, we talk of logging in and out of the
application as well, here.
I did realise how it might read a little while after I sent it :-(

However (2): only the head honchos ever get to see the colon prompt - most
users have a log-on UDC. So for them logging out of the app *is* logging out
of the session.

Maybe we're too cautious?

But for the record, yes, any resource replaced by a PurgeLink kicks in, for a
given user, just as soon as the user relinquishes and re-acquires the resource
in question.

Can't think how we ever used to manage without it......
