Good stuff....actually I was looking for the Citrix session ID, not the
"real" session ID, which is where I was going wrong in my head :-)
I realized I could just strip it from the end of the %sessionname% variable
after the # - loads simpler!
I will steal your snippet for when I actually need the "real" ID in future
:-)
