suggestion:
Create a page that will never be run as an ND page, although an ND app
could certainly create it by writing to an .html file.
The page will have a form whose action is
"http://host.company.ca/cgi-bin/ndCGI.exe/SpecialPage"
SpecialPage will be an ND page. It should be a 'start page', i.e. one that
you can call as the first page in the session.
When you click the submit button on the downloaded page, it should cause ND
to create a new session and load SpecialPage. In this_onBeforeLoadEvent,
you should be able to access any of the form fields as web variables, e.g.,
value = getWebVar("EmployeeID"), assuming that "EmployeeID" was a field on
the downloaded html file.
