	Wow.  So it has NO idea what it's printing out...  I think I
finally understand the depth of the problem :)

	Can you do an HTTP GET request from CF?  If so, you could create
a small .asp file that simply says

<%=Request.Cookies(Request.Querystring(cookieKey))%>

and then wrap a GET to that file in a small function which you could
call in your CF pages.

Any chance that would work for you?
