It is not a job for NETSCAPE, to recognize the scratch variable

Are you sure, [scratch cross_file] have a right value? It seems to mee,
you have a typo like 

fi=[scratch cross_file

(missing "]" ?) and get a "fi=%5scratch%20cross_file"?

Make it simple! Write a hart coded URL like

<a
href="http://www.usvideocenter.de/cgi-bin/<yourcatalogname>/scan/fi=<cross_file>/sf=test/se=test%20titel%2001/tf=title/ml=15">

and test it first. If you get a right result, you can do the next step
like

<a href="[area scan
fi=<cross_file>
sf=test
se=test titel 01
tf=title
ml=15
]">

if this is working, then the next test

TEST:[scratch cross_file]<BR><BR>
<a href="[area scan
fi=[scratch cross_file]
sf=test
se=test titel 01
tf=title
ml=15
]">

and so on...
