Passing Variables in a non-CGI LC Server?

[Rick Harrison]

Hi Richard,

Ok, let me clarify if I can.  LC Server as it
is installed out of the box without setting
it up as it used to be set up in the old days.

I have three webpages.  The first accepts
the user’s input into various fields and then
passes that information to the next webpage
through the user's web browser.  That works
fine.  Then without writing those parameters
out to a database, I want to pass those
now hidden parameters to the next webpage
for further processing before writing those
values out to the database.  

How are people handling that process?  
Or am I forced into writing everything out 
to the database and then reading it all 
back in just to go from one page to the next 
to the next?

Thanks,

Rick
