Hello there......

Is there a variable that can be queried to determine what the address of the
* preceding * page was?

For example..... site contains pages "A" , "B" ,  C"   and  "D" (page "D"
contains a form that when filled in must send the user back to the page he
came from).  User goes from page "A"  to page "D" (via a link). Is there a
way for code on page "D" to know the user came from page "A" (perhaps a
system variable or something).
