In your <head> section, you could add this sort of thing:

    [if scratch autorefresh]
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=[scratch autorefresh]">
    [/if]

Then each page that wants to auto-refresh to another page should only
need to add the following code before calling the template:

    [tmp autorefresh][area otherpage][/tmp]

The [tag] code, suggested above, should work as well, but I think it
may look better written like this:

    [tag op=header interpolate=1]
    Content-Type: text/html
    Refresh: 1; URL=[area somepage]
    [/tag]

Or in [perl] or [calc] etc., using $Tag->tag() and $Tag->area().
