Probably what you need to do is collect the description as a separate form 
input, then assemble that with the price in an mv_click (or it may need to 
be an mv_check), i.e.:

[seti item_price](set price for item here)[/seti]

<form ...>
<input type=hidden name=mv_todo value=refresh>
<input type=hidden name=mv_order_item value="your_item_code">
<input type=text name=description length=45>
...
<input type=submit name=mv_click value="Add to Cart">
</form>
[set Add to Cart]
[calc]
         $CGI->{mv_order_fly} = "description=$CGI->{description}";
         $CGI->{mv_order_fly} .= "|price=$Scratch->{item_price}";
         return;
[/calc]
[/set]

Not sure if this code will work or not, but that is the basic idea.
