Okay, that worked .. ONCE. What I mean is, I ran the 'login' script, which created the cookie, then i linked to a 'test' script, which asks for the cookie. The test script displayed the contents of the cookie, but after i hit reload, nothing would come back. I tried this in IE, Mozilla 0.8.1, Netscape 4.x, and Netscape 6.x. Each with the same result.
