Thank you.
I believe I have enough skill to create such a session variable or set thereof. I have never before heard of a switchboard page, but it sounds clear enough.
Indeed, I can arrange it to automatically switch people to the page I want within 4 or 5 seconds, and then provide a set of links or a dropdown menu filled with the appropriate selections in case that auto-switching doesn't work.
Thank you very much,
