capture login url for later redirect to list page

ok... I figured it out....
set return=false and then the url for the list page as shown below
http://catsnratstest.smcinternal.com/login?return=false&CATSNRATS_SUMMARY_BY_AREA/list?orderby=aAREA
Whala
Might be good to add this to help doc somewhere since I gotta believe that sending an email with a system link to view a list page, etc.. is something commonly wanting to be done

update on how url should look...
http://catsnratstest.smcinternal.com/login?return=false&goto=CATSNRATS_SUMMARY_BY_AREA/list?orderby=aAREA

not really working for me.

Do you have to process the "goto" parameter in the login event?

here are my login page events for handling the passed goto part
Before Login event and After Successful login
between the two, you should be able to find all the code you need to use...

Before Login Event
pageObject.setProxyValue("urlval",XSession.Session["urlval"].ToString() );
string url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri;
pageObject.setProxyValue("bpurl",url );
string gotopage = "";

int loc=0;
loc = url.IndexOf("goto=");

if ( loc > 0) {

gotopage = url.Substring(loc+5);
XSession.Session["gotopage"] = gotopage;

}
pageObject.setProxyValue("gotopage",gotopage);
And then here is the After successful login event
