Joomla session and how it works

Hey all, I was wondering how to use Joomla as a session holder.  What I am wanting to do is somehow use Joomla's great session environment and include it into other (non joomla) pages.  Can this be done.  I want to log into joomla then go to another page (non joomla) but still hold all the session variables (like logged in user information, rights and restrictions).  Can this be done, I think it can because of all the bridges to other apps.  Is there a good explanation on how to do this?


Thanks,
timgerr

Looking for the same thing..
I have a page wrapped in Joomla and want to use the session vars on this wrapped page.
The page is another php script using a different mysql db

Joomla 1.5 uses a normal PHP session but uses objects within its own framework to work with it.

Check out libraries/joomla/session/session.php
