.asp pages and cache

I've been finding that OW 4.1b7 caches some pages for longer that it
"should". In particular, when dealing with a site with lots of *.asp
pages (which, in this case at least, are being generated dynamically on
the server side), OW is keeping and displaying cached copies even after
the page on the server changes. For now, I can get around this by doing
a reload, but a better fix would be nice...
I've mainly been running into this on pages at http://acts.wizard.com.hk/
but unfortunately I haven't found any publically-available examples yet.
As a registered user, I see this through things like the following:
Log in
Click on "Titan" to get the list of all games
Click on the name of the first game
Note the name top-center on the page
Go Back to the list of games (using toolbar Back)
Click on the name of the second game
Note the name top-center on the page (same as before)
Click the reload button in the toolbar
Note that the top-center name has changed
Another minor nit is that I would like to be able to adjust the cmd-Up
and cmd-Down behavior to act like Page Up/Down, rather than
Next/Previous Anchor. I use an iBook, which doesn't have dedicated
Page Up/Down keys and the relevant meta key is on the opposite side of
the keyboard from the arrow keys. However, there is a handy-dandy apple
key close to the arrow keys.
If cmd-Up could be set to act like Page Up (as in, say, Netscape 4.7) I
would be able to read long pages with only one hand, not the two (or
mouse) that is required now.
If changing the behavior of cmd-Up and cmd-Down is difficult (or not
recommended), some other one-handed chord would be reasonable -- I've
grown used to Acrobat's enter/shift-enter or return/shift-return combos
for page down/up.
Thanks,
