TIMTOWTDI.  Try copying the bar_link routine from 
VENDROOT/catalog_before.cfg into your catalog.cfg, then modify it to do 
what you want.  Or, build your own templates/components/category_vertical 
that does what you want.  Basically, just add

co=yes (probably tehre already)
sf=username
se='[value username_from_form]'

HTH,

Philadelphia is not dull -- it just seems so because it is next to
exciting Camden, New Jersey.
