I am a Netscape user, and Netscape has always done things differently.
One thing is to make the cookie file a read only file.  No new cookies
can then be written to the file.  With Netscape, it will accept the
cookie while the page is active, but it doesn't write to the file until
it closes down.  But since it is a read only file, it fails the write
action and just closes without building up the cookie file.  What
happens with IE, I do not know, but have any of the IE gurus out there
tried this with version 4 or 5, yet?
