Sam -

Thanks for your prompt and courteous reply. I, too, am a programmer, so I
understand that sometimes it can be annoying to have users reporting bugs
and requesting features. In the final analysis, though, it's important to
remember that the user is who we are working for. In this business, a little
patience and courtesy go a long way. Your reply put me on to a workaround
for my problem. You see, I don't want to use your login screen (which you
refer to as "http://..../cgi-bin/sqwebmail"; below). I want to design my own,
which fits with my website design. My problem was your "hidden" frame, and
the resulting target='_parent' logout link. I realized after reading your
reply that I simply needed to design a login page with a similar "hidden"
frame in order to make the logout target the proper _parent. So, Sam, thanks
again for your help. Keep up the good work!

Brad

The initial request, http://...cgi-bin/sqwebmail  returns a frame, hence
the _parent link at logout, which reloads the top level frame.

Everything should work correctly as long as the initial URL is
http://..../cgi-bin/sqwebmail
