It is in there somewhere, but we might as well put it in the archive again. :-)

I put this at the top of each of my flypages:

[set lastproduct][item-code][/set]
[set mv_put_session]Yes[/set]

and then in my basket page:

<A HREF="[area href="[scratch lastproduct]"]"><IMG SRC="prev.gif" BORDER=0 
ALT="( PREV }"></A>

If you wanted someone to return to any other page you could [set 
lastproduct] to any page name.
