Jim,

>>In my book the session class is exactly what it says it is, a class that allows a private data session without the overhead of instantiating a form with all of the additional weight that a form has.

Hmm... maybe I missed that part of the book. I'll look again for examples.

>>So whenever you want a private data session that isn't a form, you can use the session class.

Yeah, I understand that principle. I was referring more to specific implementation examples, and especially creative tips and tricks for its use.
