    Hi,
        Since apparently others have posted solutions, here is mine.
As I have mentioned to certain individuals previously, where I previously
thought other methods of triggering the form-order reload bug were
implicated (<META TYPE="refresh" CONTENT="1"> or Java JSObject called
form reload) they seem not to trigger the bug.  Perhaps it is a "dirty"
flag on cache objects that was not set in one case.

        Please, again, do not allow this information to fall into evil hands,
or use it for evil yourself.

Thanks.
                -Paul.

P.S.  The web site is at the end of a slow line, and serves only this purpose.
