%idat contains the input fields on the page you are just in:
If you have
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="A" VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="B" VALUE="2">
in your page
%idat will contain A => 1 and B => 2
if you look at it after these two inputs. It will _not_ persist to any
following page. You may use [$ hidden $9 to generate hidden form fields out
of the values in %fdat to get them to the next page.
