Ahhh.. judging from the reply, am I correct then in thinking that the
_s (session key) is then stored in the cookie after login/authn/authz
and because Smalltalk/Seaside has to grab objects from the
continuation, it has to know the _k value so that it can then find the
user objects, page objects, etc ?

In other words; To be able to get the objects (including the cookie
object), we need the _k outside so Smalltalk/Seaside can find it. If
that's the case, then the _k outside makes sense, and something I may
have to live with :)

Thanks for the quick reply btw.. pretty amazed - thank you :)
