[ic] Brand Listing

[Ronald Camilleri]

Thanks Marty for your help, I did try [value-extended mv_searchspec] but on
the result page it's showing a number '6'.
I tried some perl code and even tried to get the values from mv_searchspec
(found mail posted by Frank on April 11 02) but no luck yet.

Thanks again

Ronald Camilleri
