Hi Stuart,
I still do get a cached copy if I use:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-store"/>

In any case - I've now started to use Apache mod-header to write
the 
Pragma: no-cache 
explicitly in the HTTP header instead of the HTML META section
and
now the cached version is NOT presented in Netscape 6.2 when I
attempt to go back to that page in the history list.
That's giving me most of the behavior I want- i.e. to forget
user/passwd
in the basic authorization scheme.
Still I need to be careful not to write confidential
stuff to the document title - as that does show up in the
history.


\Gavin
