Thanks. I was pretty sure that was the case, but not positive. The idea 
(for now) is to create a standalone, one-click seaside server with LK 
interface that I can use to experiment with Second Life interfacing 
without having to do much by way of widget creation. The scriptali.us 
controls often seem  not to work as I'd like, and I am hoping that 
localhost-served LK will provide an easy way to create control panels 
on-the-fly.

Sure, but the logic would come from the messages passed back to the 
server, as always.

Thanks for your response.
