Adding extra fields and displaying them is a breeze. They can be used
for all sorts of things. I used them to add fields AND to make a
template assignment to create different templates in the single
PROD page template.

Example of extra fields displayed on product screen:
<A HREF ="http://www.pinemporium.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PE&Product_Cod e=CSS00001&Category_Code=CSS">http://www.pinemporium.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PE&Product_Cod e=CSS00001&Category_Code=CSS</A>

For the multiple templates in the single PROD page, I used a custom
product field called "template". I used the value in that field to
determine whether the regular PROD page would display or one of the
alternate pages (all in the same page but using the mvt:if mvt:else
conditional).

So for your question, simply add one or more custom fields in the
admin:storename:utilities:custom fields. Then go to the pages:PROD.
Select the product display layout. Look at the bottom where it says
Point and Click and click that link. Now assign the custom fields
you want to display on the PROD page. Now go back and look at the
product layout code for the page. It will show you the check for
and display of the custom field data. CAUTION: When you change
the point and click settings, your old PROD page code is replaced
with a new template. So you can copy to the clipboard the newly
added custom field code, then roll back to the previous PROD page
template and paste the custom field code in that previous template
and save.
