[bounce href="[data session referer]"]

But MiniVend's Referer is not the same as HTTPs -- it is set once
as a pointer to where the sale came from.

A global UserTag can get the real referer:

(In minivend.cfg)
UserTag referer Routine sub { return $CGI::referer }

Now:

<INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=mv_click VALUE="Return to shopping">

[set Return to shopping]
mv_todo=return
mv_nextpage=rand1
[bounce href="[referer]"]
[/set]

I just picked rand5 because it is a short page in the demo
that requires no parsing.
