Yes it will.  It will build you a list of links so that you can jump
directly to each Screen.  You need to authenticate though.

no.. but you can still use IE/Netscape to do this.

Well.  It would be nice if a Portlet could be written so that it will
ALWAYS generated content.  Then when you want to deploy it within PSML
you can have:

<portlet ...>

   <security mode="allow">
     <principal>burton</principal>
   </security>
</portlet>

This would mean that the Portlet you specified could only work if the
principal were 'burton' and no one else could access it.  

Of course this is just a preliminary proposal... it will change when it
becomes an official PROPOSAL.

Right now this Portlet needs to have isAdmin() == true so that Jetspeed
won't just let anyone access it.
