Thanks Arne.
That's good news for me... It means I'm heading in the right direction. :)
I believe I have the format of the cookie correct. I'm starting to wonder if

That's a shot in the dark though.
I'm going to start testing different ways of inserting the cookie into the
browser. I'll post back here with my progress.
