Hi!  I just posted the following silly (in retrospect) question

>I'd like very much to be able to walk backwards

I immediately realised my stupidity in this one and sorry for the
unnecessary noise on the list.   If anyone as uninformed as me is curious,
here is how to do it:

$next=MYSQL_QUERY("select ref from questions where ref < $ref[0] ORDER BY
ref DESC LIMIT 1");

Cheers!
