Nope, thats the MOST frustrating part - i CAN access the fields.  I just
can't edit them via the item properties page because my new field,
div_icon doesn't show up.  If I click 'Turn Meta Off' or whatever, I can
see it, and then click on the meta for that, and edit meta properties.

products/mv_metadata.asc looks like this

code	type	width	height	field	db	name	outboard	options	attribute	label	help	lookup	filter	help_url	pre_filter	lookup_exclude	prepend	append	display_filter
products::div_icon	 select	30	 1					=none,he.gif=Higher Ed,hc.gif=Health Care,pa.gif=Public Admin		Division Icon	Set this to the division the product belongs to
