If you made the SessionID in the applet a static, then it should keep it if the
user browses away (unless the browser also unloads the current jvm execution
space during the destroy(), which I don't think it does). You would, of course,
need to take a little trouble to ensure that the static you are declaring
isgoing to be unique.
