Anybody have any idea how I, from a different ASP.NET application, be able
to dirrect a user to a page without having to have them login and have them
be in admin mode?

From an external app, there might be an extra step involved.  You would have
 to send them to a page on the CMS site that they can access without having 
to login.  From within that page, redirect them to the page you want using a
 CmsApplicationContext.

The code below should build the URL to the edit site for the page you want t
o go to.

using (CmsApplicationContext cmsContext = new CmsApplicationContext())
{
cmsContext.AuthenticateAsUser("WinNT://YOUR_DOMAIN/ADMIN_ID", "ADMIN_PASSWOR
D", PublishingMode.Update);

// pick one of the next three lines to determine the posting you want to edi
t
Posting postingToEdit	= (Posting) cmsContext.Searches.GetByGuid(YOUR_POSTING
_GUID);
Posting postingToEdit	= (Posting) cmsContext.Searches.GetByPath(YOUR_POSTING
_PATH);
Posting postingToEdit	= (Posting) cmsContext.Searches.GetByUrl(YOUR_POSTING_
URL);

// build url
string url = "http://" +
HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_HOST"] +
WebAuthorContext.Current.GetUrlForMode(postingToEdit, WebAuthorContextMode.A
uthoringReedit, true);
}

Also, try looking at Stefan's blog for a number of good examples..
