It's the 6th item on the line.  But nytimes.com is pathological; if I
recall correctly, even this cookie trick doesn't work.

Instead what you have to do is include the login details in the initial
URL, CGI-style, like

        URL: 
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/world/text/index.html?username=sitescooper&password=sitescooper

that way.  (btw sitescooper/sitescooper works on the NYT site)  We used to
use this, until we found the channel.nytimes.com server would respond OK
anyway (which was simpler).   Maybe someone out there still has a site
file for this?
