Drupal: send output to user in form's submit handler, instead of redirecting

Question

Hi, I have this basic Drupal scenario and question:

I have a form which accepts some input from user, and a submit handler which should process data and show the result to user. In other words, I don't write anything in database or set e variables etc., just show some output to user. I was wondering how I can do this, because a submit handler redirects the flow to another menu item -which the form values ($form_state) are not available anymore. Redirecting form to itself is not useful, because I just receive the raw posted inputs -not processed $form_state.

How can I prevent the redirection and just show some output to user in submit handler?

Thank you.

When you are building your form you want to set re-direct to false:

$form['#redirect'] = FALSE;

There is more on redirect here: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference.html/6#redirect

If I have understood your question correctly this is what you are after.
