Perhaps I misunderstood your use case. If you are having users input data into 
a form, it then silently passes through to the action object (whether it be a 
script, page, etc.) silently in the REQUEST.form (which you can then get to). 
If you need this information to stay persistant throughout several pages 
(i.e. a multi-page form, or simply HREFs), sessions *will* work here, too. 
Check out that book chapter I referenced under the section "Embedding A 
Browser Id Into An HTML Link" for concepts. Another option I've found handy 
is forming arguments based on path traversal, especially with SQL methods.

Take care,

Eron
