I'm in a muddle. I've search the mailinglist for an example with the
formal tag. See

http://developer2.akopia.com/archive/interchange-users/2001/msg01353.html

I'm unsure about the right using of that tag. Did that formel tag print
out a message like

"SKU 12345 is not available! Please remove it from  this page or choose
another item!"

? 

Racke, 

have you another example for a stupid boy like me?

Thank you a lot for your time!

ciao

Joachim
