+	This is session management code.  It provides an interface
+	to allow you to generate and track a browser's visit as a
+	"session", giving you a unique session ID and an interface
+	for storing and retrieving data for that session on the
+	server.
+      </p><p style="width:90%">
+	This is an alpha/beta release -- documentation is not in
+	final form, but everything you need should be in this file.
+      </p><p style="width:90%">
+	Using sessions and their included ability to store and
+	retrieve session-related data on the server, programmers can
+	generate more secure and higher-performance websites.  For
+	example, hidden fields do not have to be included in forms
+	(and the risk of them being manipulated by the user
+	mitigated) since data that would be stored in hidden fields
+	can now be stored in the session cache on the server.  Forms
+	are then faster since no hidden data is transmitted --
+	hidden fields must be sent twice, once in the form to the
+	broswer and once in the response from it.
+      </p><p style="width:90%">
+	Robust login systems, etc, can be built on top of this code.

+	  This tells Rivet you want to create a session object named

+	  You can configure the session at this point using numerous
+	  key-value pairs (which are defined later in this doc).

+	  Turn debugging on -debugMode 1 to figure

+	  Activate handles everything for you with respect to
+	  creating new sessions, and for locating, validating, and
+	  updating existing sessions.  Activate will either locate
+	  an existing session, or create a new one.  Sessions will
+	  automatically be refreshed (their lifetimes extended) as
+	  additional requests are received during the session, all
