I'm guessing "table" is overkill and I should try to use "session add" and "session lookup" for this first.

 

"table" is a newer command (session is the old one). i strongly suggest you using the table command. you have seen nice table article by Spark, haven't you?

I find the "session" concept to be a bit misleading as it seems to be more of a global data store. That article cleared up everything for me though, thanks! I shall go fourth and use table.
