You just need that mv_click in the input to reference the vars you want to 
set (action, nextpage). This is fairly well documented:

<input type="submit" name="mv_click" value="Check Out" class="button" 
onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='__BUTTON_OVER__';" 
onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='__BUTTON_OUT__';">

[set Check Out]
         mv_todo=return
         mv_nextpage=ord/checkarea
[/set]
