Hi Robert,

Although I've never had to skip any sessions here - I am pretty sure 
that you have that mainly correct, apart from the fact that when you 
skip a [or # of] session[s], the newly written session would inherit the 
session identifier of the one overwritten - i.e. in your scenario "DVD 
into reader, see only session 2" would be " see only [new]
session 1", 
and when you finalise any session, when attaching later for further 
writing the next sequential session is started, which is why there is 
the option to "close without session", where session is left
"open".

    Finalize session The current session is closed and the new
    session is prepared for writing.
    The CD can be read in CDROM drives

    Finalize with write
    protection
    The current session is closed as above, yet the
    new session is not prepared for writing, that is,
    the CD is logically write protected (sealed) until
    the CD is unsealed.
    The CD can be read in CDROM drives

    Close without session The remaining cache data and the directory are
    written to the CD, yet the current session is not
    closed. Use this option to temporarily detach a
    CD without closing the session.
    The CD can only be read in CD recorders with
    this software.
