(NOTE: this bug applies to both the default client and the one in the
consult locker)

What were you trying to do?
	Look at messages from the consultant connected to my *second*
question.  My second question was asked as yandros[1].  (the first on
yandros[0])  

What's wrong:
	I was unable to do so.  Even though I `was' yandros[1]
according to status, (a neat trick in and of itself, since olc has no
`instance' command.  I did it with `status -i 1', which may not
*really* work.  `Instance' should be added to the user commands )
`show' checked the for yandros[0], as did `show -i 0' and variants,
and `replay -i 0' and variants.  I was unable to find any way to look
at any of the info Drae was trying to send me with olc.  Eventually,
me needing to go to class and all, I punted olc, went into olcr, and
read the log, after `i -i 1'.

What should have happened:
	The `show' and `repaly' commands, and possibly others, should
DTRT with the -i option.  Also, as the average user (who, I realize, can't
ask more than one question *under our current setup*.) can't fire up
olcr, there should be a way for the user to switch instances.
