	Here Here!  (Hear Hear?) I have needed one of these ever since I got
room mates. (ack). I'd rather not have some kid from down stairs flipping 
through  my folders, finding res-edit and altering applications on my disk
(which is not an unlikely possibility, considering the kid who lived down
stairs.) I'll see if I can't get a little help on this from the programmer
here (the real one, not a student programmer ;) ). No promises tho....
