Use the http header to redirect the user instead of a META refresh.

<@ASSIGN local$httpHeader VALUE="Location: <@VAR
local$someurl><@CRLF><@CRLF>">

You have to assign the header before you output any HTML.  If you have a
problem with this, try:

<@EXCLUDE>
<@PURGERESULTS>
<@ASSIGN local$httpHeader VALUE="Location: <@VAR
local$someurl><@CRLF><@CRLF>">
<@EXIT>
</@EXCLUDE>

<@PURGERESULTS> will clear out all of the results HTML accumulated  previous
to this action.
