No, at least not that I know of. Summary uses the standard browser 
authentication, and I don't know of any way to set that up from another 
page. Almost all browsers allow you to have the browser memorize the 
name/password, so they don't have to type it in all the time, but I don't 
know of any way of automating that process from another web page.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
