		<<Return true if the page table address was found and deleted; return false otherwise.
		<<Page table addresses are stored in the system.temp.pageTableAddresses table.
		<<Each entry's name is a number, the thread id.
		<<The value is the address of the page table.
		<<html.getPageTableAddress, which retrieves the current page table address, simply gets the current thread id and looks it up in the system.temp.pageTableAddresses table.
		<<The reason for this verb is that there's no reason to keep an entry in that table when once it's no longer needed.
		<<But even when those entries don't get deleted (when this script doesn't get called), since they're in the temp table they never get saved to disk, they're gone when you quit Frontier. Which is good.

This listing is for code that runs in the OPML Editor environment. I created these listings because I wanted the search engines to index it, so that when I want to look up something in my codebase I don't have to use the much slower search functionality in my object database. Dave Winer.
