[Zope] Session Management

Hi,

I guess I don't understand session management, and need some help.

I'm using the FSSession tool and have things configured like this:

Root/
	SubFolder1
	SubFolder2
	SubFolder3
	FSSession
	index_html

index_html initializes the FSSession object. The docs say I should just
put it in my standard_html_header, but if it gets rexecuted I get an
error message, so I put it in index_html using the following:

<dtml-unless "_.has_key('FSSession')">
	<dtml-call FSSession>
</dtml-unless>

This appears to work very nicely, as I make extensive use of it in
SubFolder1. However, I found a need to display a form in SubFolder2 from
SubFolder1 and use a session key that was set in SubFolder1. It didn't
work, I couldn't figure out why until I printed the FSSession object
while using the SubFolder2 form. It was empty.

I guess I don't understand this, the FSSession object is in the root
folder, it is initialized in my index_html in the root folder, why
doesn't SubFolder2 inherit the FSSession from the root?

Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
