	Well, you need to create a custom POA to do persistent objects anyway
... so you'll create it with the USER_ID policy.

	Pity, ORBit* doesn't support persistent objects - that's one I'd really
like to see patches for .. There's a mail from me in the archives
detailing how I proposed to do it for ORBit (May/June 2001).

Good Luck,
