Dear all,
i am newbie in pmwiki, we just port a new pmwiki on our portal for help
facilities and i am assigned to developed a feature that can store the user
last visited page on pmwiki so that user can immediately get back the page
after from the our portal page.
does pmwiki provide such variables so that i can use and store in session
..?? or can anyone give me a direction how to do so?

Regards,
Alex
