"This is what I see in my dreams about final exams:              |
 two monkeys, chained to the floor, sit on the windowsill,       |
 the sky behind them flutters, the sea is taking its bath.       |
 The exam is History of Mankind.                                 |
 I stammer and hedge.                                            |
 One monkey stares and listens with mocking disdain,             |
 the other seems to be dreaming away---                          |
 but when it's clear I don't know what to say                    |
 he prompts me with a gentle clinking of his chain."             |

will find any file (that you have permission to read. ) with the word
cookie in the middle (or whole word.)
this would find cookies.html etc.

To stop the insidious spread of cookies. Simply make a softlink to the
bitbucket /dev/null from the cookie file. 'frinstance. in your netscape home
dir (probably $HOME/.netscape) type

ln -s /dev/null /a

This will mean that any cookie written to the cookies file, will be redirected
to the bit bucket. You don't have to deal with clicking no on a bunch of
requestors, or being refused access because you refuse to accept cookies.

        Thanks to all of you for writing in response to my `Kill-Them-Cookies'
matter---and any others I may have missed.  Proof once again: we can all live
better E-Linux-ly.
