I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not just an obvious troll. So please enlighten us on the cake-specific way to create a multi-step action.
And the cookbook _does_ tell you how to redirect and how to create links or buttons. You may as well start complaining that the Cookbook doesn't have an example forum/online store/CRM app/search engine/webmail app and a million other applications. The Cookbook already explains the syntax for the redirect() method. It also gives numerous examples. If you want the Cookbook to include a list of all the scenarios where an HTTP redirect should be used, which has nothing to do with Cake, then you are confusing the Cookbook with a general web development guide.
