RE: [mv] [IF] problems and "No such comparison available" errors



******    message to minivend-users from "Christopher Thompson" <ct@arborinternet.com>     ******

Wouldn't it make more sense to do something like:

[search-region co=yes
sf=restricted_to
sf=main_catagory
se=[value mygroup]
se=1
]
[search-list]
	[item-code]
[/search-list]
[/search-region]

You could do it with [loop] as well, but you don't get the [more]
features.

I just hope Mike Heins didn't see that [tag each] with the [if] inside.
You would hear the groan all the way from Ohio.
