Look in the list archives.  On March 3, 1999, Gerard Olszowiec posted a
long e-mail on multipage checkouts.  The title was:
"Re: Multi-Page Checkout -- A step-by-step".

I used it successfully until I figured out another way to solve my
problem.  However, I don't have the e-mail (just a print-out), nor the
code anymore.

To get to the archives, go to the minivend site (www.minivend.com) and
click on the "Search" item on the bar across the top part of the screen,
not the search box on the left side (at least I couldn't find it that
way).  You will get a page with multiple search boxes.  The top one on the
right will search the mailing list archives.  There is a huge amount of
information, but you'll have to dig a bit.  It would be nice if someone
had the time to take those archives and tease out the tips and tricks
postings that are in there.  But who has time?

Best,
Kyle
