DRA> Thanks for the reply!

DRA> ok ... then I guess I need to know how to convert it from a string to a 
DRA> dictionary. Is that possible? Is there something like _.dict(cookie) 
DRA> that will work?

not sure. i would guess you would have to make your own format/parser
according to your needs. Tough if you are to handle all cases on a
general basis, simple if you know what the dicts will be like. :)

- also : there is a limit (255 ?? ) to how long cookie strings can be , so
cookies are really not a very good tool for complex data storage

You could prehaps get around the problem by using sessions instead ?
