Excellent. Thanks for the response Rick. I think our direction will be
the same as yours.

Hi Bill,
The security risk is there, it isn't huge but it is giving non-admin
users a privilege that they would normally only have on the console
(session 0).
But it's a difficult choice between making an application run for
non-admins and opening a small but not inconsequential hole in your
security. If it's any consolation, we've been assigning this privilege
to students in several schools (AutoCAD etc) and despite considerable
entrpeneurialism by the students it hasn't proven to be an embarassment.
regards,
Rick
