Thanks so much!!! marhal(0 was just what I needed.
I want to control lifetime at the server's discretion - not the object. So
I tried GetLifetime...() after Marshal() but that gave me a "null" value.
When is InitializeLifetime.. called? Because I was thinkng I might have
object prior to calling Marshal. Then, I could set those timing properties
set variables.
