This is an example of a web-based application like i mentioned earlier, with
the following tradeoffs. You use their database manager from any location
on the web, so it's great for traveling sales people, but you have no access
to their code, so you can't possibly change the display or reverse-engineer
it directly, and you can't steal it. They can access your puter as they wish
when you connect, because the pages use javascript. They can cut you off
from your stored data at anytime, you can't access the data unless you
are online. If they are DDOS'd, your database is cut off. For 100megs of
storage and 50 databases, you pay $50 a month for the "premium" plan on
that site. Ouch.

The Wiki Web was setup to do just this. I know nothing about it,

My chief concern is verification of data truth if everyone is changing the
data without a trail of responcibility.

Kat,
still wants "goto" in Eu, then she can "exit" out of any loop with the one
command, to a properly well defined and easily read local target.
