The Secure Kiosk is a direct descendant of the Generic Gopher Slate
(which, on Valhalla, is object #139). It allows you to secure the default
list; and you can block players from using the kiosk for sites other than
those on (or accessible to sites on) the default list. The kiosk can be
"privatized" so that only the person doing the 'pick', 'back', etc., sees
what happens. [Yes, I intend to change it so that 'watchers' also see
what happens. I see no reason why players shouldn't be able to look over
other players' shoulders in a library.]

BASIC PUBLIC ACCESS KIOSK: Note that this Kiosk is @locked to #78. On Valhalla, this is Balder. It presumably won't be on *your* MOO.
