You can write a couple of .kl1 where you can put header (css refs) and 
footer stuff, then let all your "worker" pages include them via <%@ 
include "..." %> .

That's the way: 'request', 'response' and 'session' objects are only 
available in the .kl1 source ('out' can be popped out from the 
'response' via response_io()), so if you need to use them outside its 
scope they have to be passed as args.  Just remember to #include 
<klone/klone.h> in some top-level header of yours to allow the compiler 
to  handle them right.

In a way a .kl1 is already a web component, pretty much like a java 
servlet ... what do you mean exactly ?

Thank you very much for your e-mail !  Hope that other will want to 
share what they have learned, the strategies and tactics they use to 
build their KLone-apps, so that we all can progress :)

ciao, t.
