It can't -- it doesn't have it yet. 8-)

It can be done pretty easily at the cost of two hits initially:

	[if type=explicit compare="q{[read-cookie MV_SESSION_ID]}"]
		<!-- All is copacetic, got a cookie. -->
	[elsif scratch tried]
		[set message]
			You must have cookies set to leave the basket.
			Check out now or forever lose your shopping cart.
		[/set]
	[/elsif]
	[else]
		[set tried]1[/set]
		[bounce href="[area ord/basket]"]
	[/else]
	[/if]

It really will help to do this at the top of the page, as parsing
is aborted at the bounce tag; this makes the redirect fairly fast.
You can use [scratch message] later in the page to send a message,
or any of many other means.

The compare value is Perl, so it must be properly quoted.
