Javascript is client side.  So are cookies.  My book has examples of this.

You call QtmhWrStout more than once.  I like to keep my strings to a max of
1024.  This was a the limit in V3R2.  It's also a nice workable size.  I
don't count bytes, but I build strings and call the API whever I feel.. ;)
You could call WrStout one byte at a time if you wanted.
