The back button is not broken, 
When you press the back button you hit the page that has the refresh tag
and it re-directs you back. 
You could 
1. try hitting the back button twice, real quick.
2. place a link on the page which calls a script history.go(-2)

hope this helps

Subject: Witango-Talk: re-direct to new window

I have a taf that does a query to find a URL and then re-directs the
user to that site using <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=<@VAR
local$someurl>">.  The problem is, this seems to break the back button
on users web browser.

How can I implement so users can easily get back to my starting page? 
Opening the URL in a new window would be acceptable.
