Doesn't look like it unfortunately - I can't seem to log in. I'm sure I
had an account setup...

I copied the code from IAAuthenticatedSession, nothing tricky added by
me. Previously I had been using code copied from IAAuthPageSession -
that caused no problems. I'll try reverting to see what happens. The
problem is only on the one Acorn browser, but I have long experience
with problems that look like being 'only on one uninteresting setup'
turning out to be serious problems for everyone after investigation. It
would be good to find out what is happening, just in case this is one of
them.

That one seems to have yielded to rebooting the powerbook a few times,
implying some cretinous nonsense in os-x/ie is at fault. Surprise....
