[thelist] Finding the URL of the page in ColdFusion

How do you find the URL of the page currently being displayed by 
the browser?  I want to know so I can get rid of any links to the 
page the user is currently viewing.  For example:

<CFOUTPUT>
   <CFIF #URL.current# IS #dynamically_generated_link#>
      Link (Here you are)<BR>
   <CFELSE>
      <A HREF="#dynamically_generated_link#">Link</A><BR>
   </CFIF>
</CFOUTPUT>

If there is a better way to do this, please let me know.  This is for a 
Spectra application, so if there is some Spectra magic that can do 
the trick, I would like to use that.

Also, usually I would only wrap the second 
#dynamically_generated_link# in CFOUTPUT tags, but I chose 
readbility over performance for this e-mail.  :-)

Sorry for what must seem like a very elementary question, but I am 
new to ColdFusion and, as usual, I am having a hard time finding 
what I need in the ColdFusion books I have.


TIA,

Faust
