What you probably want to be able to do is (more or less) randomly reset
counters for each viewer. It doesn't make sense to do that on the box -
4 telnets plus up to 10 pmconsoles makes for a lot of reference numbers.
Fortunately (oh God, here he goes again 8-) Amber will provide the
capability to reset counters on its monitor screens.
