That's what I thought, but the instructions for cookie.py imply just 
the opposite...
    <grin>  That's kinda the point.

Why setup the cookie equaling a string w/length of 1024??

This might be where I'm running into problems.... The only reason I 
can think of 
doing that, is to ensure that the other variables fit into the 
"mother" string????

I agree, it's nice.... But the instructions aren't written right...
Hard to use a module when the docs/examples are telling 
you the wrong thing.

BTW-> Thanks for the example, I'll have to try that string
	length maneuver and see if it helps.  Because I 
	believe I have everything else pretty much the
	same.
