Another good idea. Unfortunately not the answer.
I did try this earlier but only by dropping a TSession object on the
form and modifying the PrivateDir setting for that - so the CGI apps had
the same PrivateDir setting for the default Session object (blank,
indicating that it would use the current Windows directory, which, of
course, was the same for all CGI apps).
I just tried modifying the PrivateDir setting of the default Session
object (a different value for each CGI application, and a directory not
used by anything else), but still no luck.
The search continues.... :)
