Ok, I see the point. But how can I return to the second last page with a
RESPONSE.redirect?
If I use <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(HTTP_REFERER)"> a call will be
redirected to my calling form. E.g. I want to have management screens for
the users with that they can add instances of things. I have put the forms
that will be used to get necessary information in a subfolder, say /Forms
and ZSQL Methods in another subfolder /SQL. So this will result in the
following calling sequence:
.../frmAManagementScreen -> /Forms/frmAddNewUser -> /SQL/sqlAddUser
After adding a user by /SQL/sqlAddUser I want to return to
.../frmAManagementScreen and NOT to /Forms/frmAddNewUser. But a <dtml-call
"RESPONSE.redirect(HTTP_REFERER)"> in /SQL/sqlAddUser (which is the last in
the calling sequence) will return to /Forms/frmAddUser.
(.../frmAManagementScreen can have an arbitrary location within my
hierarchy.)

I am looking for an (elegant) way to do this.
