Dan,

Good point.  In a very different context, our web-based library catalogs
are set to time-out but a member of the users' group (not the vendor
itself) developed a pop-up window (there is also a CSS version) stating
that the session was about to end and would the user like to continue or
start a new one.  If the user doesn't respond, the window and the
session expire.  On the face of things, it doesn't look like an
enhancement that would require a major rewrite.  Still, that is not what
we have now.
