uh, this isn't correct, btw...

Session's are maintained through an identification cookie, which is
passed back and forth with each page request (the actuall Session data
is on the server), even if the page on the server isn't an ASP page. The
Session isn't /started/ until the first ASP-processed page the browser
hits, but after that you can hit non-ASP-processed pages and come back
to ASP pages within the same Session timeout period and not lose the
session.
