It won't work.

But this will:

<form action="[area flypage]">
<input type=text name=mv_arg>
<input type=submit>
</form>

Better:

[set scrub_arg]
	[calc]
		$Session->{arg} =~ s/^\s+//;
		$Session->{arg} =~ s/\s+$//;
		# If all of your part numbers are upper case
		# $Session->{arg} = uc $Session->{arg};

		# If all of your part numbers are lower case
		$Session->{arg} = lc $Session->{arg};

		## Any other things you might want to do
		return;
	[/calc]
[/set]

<form action="[area flypage]">
<input type=hidden name=mv_action value=back>
<input type=hidden name=mv_click value=scrub_arg>
<input type=text name=mv_arg>
<input type=submit>
</form>

You might have to set page_title a bit differently on flypage:

[tmp page_title]
	[if session arg]
		[description code="[data session arg]"]
	[else]
		[item-description]
	[/else]
	[/if]
[/tmp]
