If your up for a little VCX hacking, you can create an object of a VCX as a Session.

CREATE CLASSLIB Tester
CREATE CLASS oSession OF Tester AS Form
USE Tester.vcx
BROW

Now goto the line for oSession, can use the ObjName field to find it,
change 'class' and 'baseclass' to session (instead of form) and there you have it, a Session stored in a VCX.
There is however no visual editor for a session, and you need to maintain the properties etc by directly editing the VCX
