In fact it should be sp=mypage - finally found a clue to this in the non-frames 
docs, after trying "mv_search_page=mypage".

I meant to say "flypage.html", not flycat :(
There are some tags concerning "include" and "insert" but I can't get 
them to work. Basically, what I want is a similar result as when going 
from the results page to a pre-built page named after the product code, 
but to insert a file into the flypage.html instead. Ie, the flypage will 
then show just this file and look the same as a pre-built page, but 
the file will be something which is very simple to edit or make, as 
it will not have any MV tags - just text and a few <p> or <ol> tags.
So, on the results page you click on a link:
 <A HREF="[area [item-code]]">[item-field description]</a> and 
it goes to flypage.html which inserts into itself a file corresponding to 
[item-code] for the visitor to read.
Seems as though it should be very simple to do, and no doubt 
it is very simple when you know how!
