Fixed session prob with Netscape

I fixed the problem I had with Netscape not working well with sessions (whereas MSIE worked fine for me). Apparently, Netscape works well with cookies (and ironically, MSIE doesn't). Of course, many would probably disagree, but I'm ONLY speaking from MY recent experience and specifically on the Mac platform. So, anyway, my solution was to set both sessions and cookies at the same time, wherever needed, and do my authentication (etc) by seeing if either one or the other is set (e.g., if $session = logged or $cookie = bitten then...). Hope this helps someone.
