Oops!  I *meant* to write

    SDV($RichEditCookie, $CookiePrefix.'editor');
    setcookie($RichEditCookie, $value, 0, $AuthorCookieDir)

Maybe we should have generic $CookieExpires and $CookieDir
variables, along with $CookiePrefix, instead of creating separate
values of this parameter for every cookie.

For now, it's probably safe to assume that something like this
will be the case, so I suggest:

    SDV($RichEditCookie, $CookiePrefix.'editor');
    SDV($CookieDir, '/');

    setcookie($RichEditCookie, $value, 0, $CookieDir);
