Thanks, I thought as much. It's not difficult to check the user for  
the correct role and return an index page otherwise but I guess I  
need to start explicitly attaching such scripts to objects and their  
methods but I'm still on that learning curve, which is probably not  
helped by the fact I nearly always store data in an RDBMS and I don't  
use O/R mappers.
