Hi, all:

I have a form that looks like this:

<FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST>                 
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_todo"     VALUE="refresh">     
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_nextpage" VALUE="profile3">
 ...
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="mv_order_item" VALUE="3007">
 ...
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="mv_order_item" VALUE="3250">
 ... (etc ... there are up to nine items on a page)

<INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Continue to Next Page &gt;&gt;">
</FORM>

Which orders an item and sends the user on to the next page in the 
profile (this is successful). What I am trying to add is:

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="[modifier-name pagetitle]">

so that I can have the user set the modifiers as s/he goes along.
There is one for each item. This does not work ... does not show
up on the basket page and is not even in the session when I go
through the /etc/session file. In fact, the source file shows the
tag which tells me it isn't even being parsed even though I copied
it exactly from the documentation. (Before you ask, the modifier
is set up in catalog.cfg and works correctly when saved on the
basket page as [item-modifier pagetitle].)

What am I doing wrong and is there a solution to this? What I need
to do is tag each item ordered with a text identifier that the user 
types in BEFORE they get to the basket.

We are currently using mv4.04a, plan to upgrade to ic4.6 shortly.

Thanks!!!
