I wrote a nice long reply originally but accidently closed the damn window... Basically...what I suggested is you to execute to redirects.. Original to temp Temp to original using:

if(a==10){
printf("Location: http://www.domain.com/script2.cgi");
printf("Location: http://www.domain.com/script1.cgi");
}

You could maybe try redirecting to the exact same page using the SCRIPT_NAME environment variable...if that is what its called...??? You will have to let the browser know not to use it's cached version though with the following headers I stole from a PHP script I have:

header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false);

gmdate() is a PHP function you'll have to find the equivelant in the CRT or library your using... Replace header() with printf() HTH Cheers :) How do I print my voice mail?
