Actually, the script you reference at mainResponder.member.setCookie does NOT set a simple cookie.

The script I wanted, and wrote, follows. All it does is precisely handle the needs of setting a cookie as described at the Netscape Cookie Spec.

on setCookie (nameValue,expires=nil,path=nil,domain=nil,secure=nil) { //mike mell
«nameValue is must be in the form of "name=value"
«no white space, semi-colons or commas
local {
«pta = html.getPageTableAddress()
cookietext};
on add(s) {
cookietext = cookietext + s}; add(nameValue); if expires != nil {
add(";expires=" + expires)};
if path != nil {
add(";path=" + path)};
if domain != nil {
add(";domain=" + domain)};
if secure != nil {
add(";secure=" + secure)};
pta^.responseHeaders.["Set-Cookie"] = cookietext}
