As it turns out, it was quite easy.  And in fact, my code is getting 
cleaner.  I did this:

   completed string;
   function onPrerender()
       imageUrl = "http://www.radile.com/rdweb/temp/"; :: myPet :: ".jpg";
   end
  
   function onSubmit()
       completed = "You successfully ordered " :: bid.quantity :: " " ::
                   myPet :: "(s)" :: ".";
   end
  
   function onCancel()
       completed = "You cancelled this order.";
   end


Then I added a Cancel button with immediate=true and then bound onSubmit 
to the Submit button and onCancel to the Cancel button (that was done 
with drag and drop on the WYSIWYG design screen).  Done.

The one downside is that I had to manually code the immediate=true flag; 
it didn't show up on the property sheet for the h:command tag.  I'll 
submit that to the EGL team.
