"ah ... you speaka my language"
mm. the key actions in question reside on 4 pages that contain a fair
bit of data and provide the user with product-specific views of their
data.  so I have to be able to undertake the action and return to the
same page with an update with as little screen flicker as possible (it's
a mimic screen for an industrial control system - scada via www).
