[mv] changing __LEFTHANDSIDE__

Hi All,

I have configured the simple catalog and am using noframes.
The store consists of 7 shops so I have altered the page lefthandside to 
represent the shops and clicking on the links displays a new page with a 
new lefthandside e.g healthlefthandside.
These new lefthandsides display the categories of products in each shop and 
when you click on a category it does a on click search which displays the 
results in results.html.

All this is fine.
The results.html page has the original lefthandside in it and  would like 
to have the lefthandside associated with the shop.
One solution is to create a new healthresults.html page and use that which 
works fine

Since all the shops are by one owner and are to look the same I thought it 
would be nice for administrative purposes to only have one results.html and 
vary the __LEFTHANDSIDE__ variable according to the page it was coming 
from.

Ive created a variable in my one click search 
va=new_leftside=HEALTHLEFTHANDSIDE then in my results.html page I have 
replace the __LEFTHANDSIDE__ with __[value new_lefthandside]__
When I click on the link I get the results page with __HEALTHLEFTHANDSIDE__ 
as text and no healthlefthandside

Ive also tried setting va= new_leftside=healthlefthandside and putting 
[include pages/[new_lefthandside]] in the results page. I get no 
lefthandside displayed and the last bracket ]

Any pointers or suggestions on what words to search under in the mail 
archive would be appreciated.

Cheers
Michael
