[ic] new to interchange, sku reference

I just started using interchange. I have learned alot the last few weeks but
with my experience it is slow going. One problem I am currently having is
with changing the SKU reference in a given SKU loop. What I have done is in
products.txt I have created my items. Most of the items are for download
after sale.

For example item mm00003 is a high resolution image and respective fields.
Now, there is also an item mm00003_web which is the same image as the
previous but lower resolution and maybe smaller size. I felt I needed to
create TWO seperate entrys like this for every occurance of a hi rez and low
rez image because That is the only way I could get the respective file "hi
rez or low rez" to become available after purchase. However Note: I have
made only one of the entries "available" to the search results page, so I
won't have redundant results.

Now for the problem- In my search results it finds and displays the info for
the mm00003. I have place a link, and size information to a flypage for that
file also in the search results. I have also been able to add a link to the
low rez mm00003_web fly page next to it by using:

<a href="[area [item-code]_web]">[item-code]_web</a>

This works great. Now I want to display the size field for mm00003_web next
to the link. The current reference would in this instance be mm00003. How
can I change reference in the results of mm00003 to mm00003_web.

I guess what I want to know is can I in [item-field size], add a suffix to
"item-code". I know this is wrong but here are some examples of what I am
going for, to better explain my goal-

[[item-code]_web-field size]

or maybe

[[[item-code]_web]-field size]

I am sorry if I have made no sense here. I am little fustrated wit this
problem.

BTW- beside the interchange site and the .pdf's, is there any other books or
support out there? I have searched but have come up with practically
nothing.

If someone lives in the Pasadena area of Southern California and wants to
make some extra money, I would be happy to pay for a little tutoring.

Thanks
