Tim,

mv_todo is used to determine the "action" of the form submission
as per docs:

http://interchange.redhat.com/cgi-bin/ic/docfly.html?mv_arg=ictemplates10%2e02

The basic form (to post to a "receiving page") is:

<FORM ACTION="[process]" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo  VALUE="return">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE="recieving_page">
.....
form fields
......

<input type="Submit" name="contact" value="go">
</FORM>


On the "receiving page" (recieving_page.html in this example) you can
"do something" with the data from the form fields with [value xxx] tags.

Good Luck,

Kyle Cook
