Thanks Brian! I realize nobody is paid. Yes there is frustration and
desperation at times. I do know how to live with it and continue to
forge ahead.

Indeed I was treating check() incorrectly. I read the entry in
book.cakephp.org about six times until it finally sunk in. Once you
understand what is written in the manual it makes much more sense.

I am using the Auth component. I did try your suggestion at first but
I kept getting an "Undefined property" error on that line in the
default.ctp view. I'm sure it is a timing thing and I could load user
somewhere, but ultimately reading from the session seemed to work out
for now.

Thanks for the encouragement to keep going. I shall. I need the money.
Badly. Now on to model relationships...
