Justin, I took your suggestion and tried out the above on some test files. I
made some slight mods, but, it works perfectly. The only thing I don't like
about this solution is that the session ID is appended to the end of the URL
for everyone, even if they have cookies enabled. (I have trans-sid enabled).
Is there any reliable way to avoid this, or is this just a small side-effect
of making the site accessible to all?
Thanks!
Monty
