This is the problem we've experienced here at NIP...

Hmm, I wonder if you could specify in the RESPONSE object where the
redirection would take place to?

Why I'm asking is 'cos it'd be really nice not to have to keep
re-writing UI when there's perfectly good stuff available in the
management interface, things like add forms, edit forms, etc...

However, if you call these from anywhere else, they dump you in the
management interface when you're finished rather than going to where you
want them to.

Any ideas or am I missing the point?
