Glad it works.

Not that I know of. There are ways to achieve this, I'm sure, but not with
a single tag. The values put into the REQUEST using REQUEST.set() are only
valid for the lifetime of that single request, for that single user, so
you shouldn't step on your own toes that much.

Of course, there are times when this might be required, but I'd look at my
design and see if there's not another way to do things.
