The above didn't log you in.

Set your username and password using the [value] tag or use the [userdb]
tag's "cgi" parameter.  See here:

    http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/icdocs/Interchange_user_database.html#login
    http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/icdocs/tags/userdb.html#cgi

Also, you didn't name the [seti] scratchpad variable.  [tmp] would
be better than [seti] for this or, better still, user the [userdb]
tag's "hide" parameter:

    http://www.interchange.rtfm.info/icdocs/tags/userdb.html#hide

The [cgi] and [value] tags also have a "hide" parameter.  I'm sure
that you can guess the link to the docs for those. :-)

By the way, you can cut the whole thing down to size with the
following:

    [userdb function="login" usernme="[cgi username]" password="[cgi pw]" hide=1]

Hmmm - I wonder whether it's a bug that [data session username] got
set using your example.  I'll test that for myself when I get some
time.
