All this talk about about disabling "back" buttons makes me think that the
more "convulted" solution (session/CGI variables) may in fact be the "best"
way?

Store the "current" page and the "previous" page (from CGI) in the session
scope and then simply not alow any actions?

That approach is outlined by muhmat (member of this list) here:
http://cfhub.com/contributions/backbutton/

It is (as was hinted at earlier) a "nightmare" but doable.
