IIUC, this should be very easy -- start by defining `question' as
`section', and then add some more code that will create the front
page.


[And speaking about on-line delivery of exams, I have a system for
doing tests in a lab: run a client on each machine which locks it in a
"kiosk mode"-like state, and the clients all connect to the test
server which collects the text that students write.  I've used it last
semester and this one, and it works pretty well.  But this is
unrelated to a scribble library for writing exams -- in fact, since
clients lock the machine down, there is no PDF viewer and no browser.
(For obvious reasons.)]
