The Logon message has Username and Password fields, so I can create a  
Logon message with those fields, but what then?  Do I just pass the  
message to FIX::Session:sendToTarget like all other messages?  Seems  
like that would work.

Also, are the SenderCompID and TargetCompID different entities from  
the username field in Logon?  Looks like I can get at the target/ 
sender IDs in fromAdmin, but those appear to be different than the  
username to me.
