Melissa Hunter-Kilmer inquired about how to create firewalls on Web

Melissa... If you are creating an online procedure manual (or
something similar) for your company, why not create an online help
file that can be accessed without having to use a Web browser? You
can do many of the same types of things, and you won't have to worry
about creating firewalls, since the help files simply need to be
installed on a network drive for which everyone has access. I think
it'd be a lot simpler to maintain, also, since you won't need to have
a Web person maintain the site (unless you already *do* have an
on-site Webmaster?).

Just a thought...
