Would be interested to hear of any errors on others' systems.
No errors on IE4.01, but when I click a link and go to a new page I get no
entry in my "back" menu. I didn't look at the code, so I don't know if this
is intentional, but since you're using cookies couldn't this be avoided (if
it *is* intentional)?
