Ah. Yes, thanks.

MY searches only turned up non-useful information (and eventually my
original posting). For searches by others in the future:

Apparently the trick is to separate the form processing URL from the
output URL. That is, have the form on page1.php execute page2.php,
which does processing but no output, and then use header("Location:
page3.php") to redirect to the result page that actually does
output. Then, refreshing page3.php will simply refresh the page
without re-submitting the form on page1.php.
