That's a good one! One way you could do it is to specify your keyword
field as the mv_search_field, and set mv_substring_match=yes,
mv_searchspec=a. This would cause the search to return all records who
have a keyword CONTAINING the letter "a". Then you might be able to skip
the ones which don't BEGIN with "a" as follows:
[if value keywords =~ /^a/i]
[item-code]
[item-description]
[item-price]
.

.
[/if]
Untested, and my Perl is rudimentary, but it should work, or at least give
you some idea...
