Joachim -

I am not sure what your vars signify, but the best way I have found to
carry extra data around the cart system is to declare some item modifiers
in the catalog.cfg (UseModifier entry).  Then I can set them with a form
fied and display them with an [item-modifie] tag:

In catalog.cfg -
#
#
#UseModifier mymodifier

On the flypage.html or other pertinent page -

for input:
<input type=text name=mv_order_mymodifier value="[item-modifier mymodifier]">

or just display:
[item-modifier mymodifier]

You can include the [item-modifier...] tag(s) in you receipt and report
files as well, and you can insert them in the routine (in the report file
on the simple demo) for writing an order to transactions db.
