Certainly caching is a good thing under a normal operating scenario. But
that doesn't describe what I need. I'm developing an application that
employs a lot of javascript. I need to reinitialize the script and page
each time I run a test using different parameters. If anything resides in
the cache, there is no assurance the page/script will be reloaded. In
fact, without emptying the cache first, one is guaranteed to reload from
the cache and not from the server.

Thanks, I understand caching. That's why I asked my question. 

Opera does not seem to be complying with my Preference directive to not
cache anything.
