    Hi Steve,
    Your solution is very cool!  I'm going to use it in the following
form...
    (maybe a bit more flexible?, change the default days to suit your needs)

    ID: expireInNDays
    Parameter List: self, days=1.0
    _____________BODY__________
    t = self.ZopeTime() + days # user defined duration
    t = t.toZone('GMT')

    return t.strftime("%A, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT")
    ___________________________
     On the page you want to set the cookie put:
     <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('cookiename','cookievalue', path='/',
expires=expireInNDays(this(), 7.0))">
     or, to use the default of 1 day:
     <dtml-call "RESPONSE.setCookie('cookiename','cookievalue', path='/',
expires=expireInNDays())">
    Thanks  -Eric.
</Newbie_Alert>
