If there is no objection, can the list of remembered patients be 
retained (not deleted) between logins/sessions? At the next session, 
I do not see it as "bad" that the 10 last patients are available from 
the list, these being replaced gradually with new patients upon their 
activation. For example I doubt it's important, after you have 
activated a few new patients, to be able to look at the list and 
answer "now was it the top-most 4 or 5 that I activated this session, 
and were the others activated last session?"

Also, if a single user can have the same userid and password logged 
into two or more instances of gnumed (using the same patient 
database) at the same time, would the patients activated inside the 
two different instances get added to the same list? This is still 
acceptable, yes? Maybe there would be a delay in the appearance of 
the most recent patient inside the other instance?
