<h1>Animal Crackers</h1>
Choose the animals you want to add to the zoo, and click "add".
Come back to this page any time within the next hour and the list of 
animals in the zoo will be resurrected.  You can even quit Netscape
completely!
<p>
Try adding the same animal several times to the list.  Does this
remind you vaguely of a shopping cart?
