Writing CD-RW with the new Solaris8 cdr

Hello!
It seems to me that the new Solaris 8 cdrw probably obsoletes cdrecord for
making multi-session CD-RWs of data. However the data in the man page is a bit
skimpy and I have not yet found a successful way to make multi-sessions.
Of course there are reams of data about using cdrecord for this but I would
prefer to use "cdrw" as much as I can. Can someone help me with the following?

	1. What are the required mkisofs options for  preparing the first data
session?
	2. I asume that cdrw can then write this session using the -O option and
leaving the CD-RW still in the "open" state.  Are there any other options needed
for this stage? I believe the disk is now unreadable but can be inspected with
cdrw -M? This also gives the next "writing address" and other info about the
first session.
	3. I want to return to the disc at a future date to write more data in a
second session. Do I use the mkisofs in the same way as in 1. above? How do I
use the cdrw -M data to do another open write?
	4. After a 3rd session I will want to "close" the disc. What options of
cdrw will close the disc and make it fully readable?
	Thanks for any assistance
	Don
