Hi James--

  >received a cookie that expires in 1970.  This is with 
  >Netscape 4.61.  Anyone care to confirm this.

JM>BTW, I'm running Warp 4 with FP10.

    I am using Netscape/2 (secured) under Warp 4 FixPak 5.  After every
session that gets anywhere near a Web site, I check \cookies.txt and
clean out any added unwanted junk, using one of my text editors (TEDIT
works fine!).  Suggest you keep cookies only from sites you do business
with (such as buying stuff) regularly.  This will save you a lot of
grief in the long run, as well as making a lot of hotshot internet
marketing companies very unhappy :-).

    Regards,

        --Murray
