I don't see "stayondomain" in the docs, the helpfile, or the 
source.  "stayonhost" is in all of them and should work.

Does this belong in the Desktop, or should it be in the Spider?   It seems 
more appropriate for the parser rather than the high-level interface.  I 
could probably get that into the Desktop using a Windows named mutex, but 
the parser (Spider.py) is written in Python.  I haven't determined how to 
create a cross-process named mutex or semaphor in Python yet.
