return to paginate page following edit update

Hi

I am pretty new to cakephp and I am struggling to do something that I
think should be a relatively common problem.

We have a list of records that we are paginating, a user can select a
record to edit. Upon completion of the edit the user is then returned
to the paginated list.

My usual (non cake) strategy for this kind of thing has been to save
the current pagianted page to a session variable. At the point of
commiting the edit for a record I then set an updated record variable
and the list page then knows that it has to jump to the relevant
paginated page. I am setting all of these in the controller which
seems to me to be the relevant place.

I have no problem in setting the page to see if it has just updated
what I cannot do right now is retrieve the current pagiante page in
the controller. It is available to the view so it is defintely there
somewhere - just can't see how to get to it.

As I said before, I am sure that this is a common problem and I am
looking for first a solution and secondly best practice.
