Thanks, Jeff. I kinda sorta expected these functions would be in
your Operator client. However, since Rocklyn's note was referring
to both a client & browser interface, I thought I should speak
up in case your less robust browser interface did not currently
support these functions. We'll probably want to see IPM continue
to beef-up the browser interface (as long as we can authenticate
users via SSL) to minimize the pain with client maintenance and the
lack of support/function for the ever so popular desktop platform
called MacOS.
