Michael,

That's a very good question but it is too advanced for now because sessions
are not implemented yet.
There is no concept of a session just yet.  You are currently limited to
sending xmlrpc requests and recieving its replies.  So storing state is not
possible.  AFAIK chris is currently working very hard on a new design to
load and cache requested objects in the DGEE, but I don't know whether
sessions are supported just yet.  What is certain is that XML Rpc has no
concept of sessions at all.

I don't think so.  Not yet.  But chris should be able to tell you more about
this since he is working on the new object loader.

> Also, is there a way to get the session id as a string?

Not that I am aware of.  Not yet.
