>    mv_todo=return
>    mv_nextpage=myAccount
>    mv_check=check1
>   [/set]

>     [userdb function=set_shipping nickname="test2"]
>   [/set]

You can also chain mv_click items:

   [set click1]
	[perl] $Scratch->{what} = "<li>Did something"; [/perl]
	mv_click=click2
   [/set]

   [set click2]
	[perl]
		$Scratch->{what} .= "<li>Did something else";
	[/perl]
   [/set]

<ul>[scratch what]</ul>
[set what][/set]
    [page 
	href=@@MV_PAGE@@
	form="
		mv_action=return
		mv_click=click1
	"]Do something and also something else</A>

Of course this means you can do an endless loop, so don't do that. 8-)
