Don,

Request parameters and request attributes are not the same thing. Parameters 
come from the user's HTTP request, attributes come from the server's internal 
context handling. Think of the latter as extra information that pertains to 
processing the request.

Also, request-scope values disappear when the request is over.

this sets the value correctly the first time the page is hit but  
subsequent calls do not use the new value of the variable.
What am I doing wrong and what is the proper procedure. I am a  
relative newbie to this so don't worry about insulting me by  
providing more detail than you think is sufficient. smile
