I want to be able to dynamically change the page I end up at using the
POST/URL. The compose page is as good a place as any to start ;)

Frankly I was thinking something more along the lines of:
$redirect_url = 'compose.php'
So that *just* the compose page opens.... without the left hand menu frame.
Perhaps I could do something like this around line 137 of redirect.php....
sqGetGlobalVar('other_url', $other_url)
if($other_url != '') (
$redirect_url = $other_url;
) else (
... the normall $redirect_url setting code ...
)
Then in all I have to do is POST to redirect.php with the
'login_username', 'secretkey' (password) and 'other_url'......?
Though I'm not really sure that sqGetGlobalVar is the right function to
use. To get the form var. I have *NO* idea what I'm doing in the
SquirrelMail code :(

Again this is kinda a static thing and would mess up the general operation
of SquirrelMail. All I want to do is put in a shortcut way of logging in
and getting to a perticular page.

Heh.... No php doesn't look all that bad and I've been meaning to get into
it more. It's just *yet annother* set of syntax, core functions and
methodoligy to learn.

It does indeed. You seem to be saying that what I want to do will require
coding.... that's question one answered ;)
Now all I have to do is figure out the easist and most un-intrusive way of
getting this done. Hopefully in some manner that the maintainers will be
happy to roll into the next release so that I'm not forever patching new
releases. If you can give me any pointers there it would be most handy!
Many thanks
