Googling around I found this:
http://lists.ofbiz.org/pipermail/dev/2003-November/003762.html
so in the .FTL I have used the following:
<div><#assign
ProductOnlyShowingFirstN=uiLabelMap.ProductOnlyShowingFirstN?interpret><@ProductOnlyShowingFirstN/>.</div>
and so doing it is not necessary to change the screens XML files to insert
the <set> tag.
If there are no objections it could still be "the way to go"
Thank you,
-Bruno
