         That's how I started, modifying simple.  Running more than one 
catalog is the easy part... molding the simple demo to fit your needs 
without breaking it is hard.  Keep backups.  Lots of them.

>Or  would you suggest that I use Minimate for all administration/setup?

         I don't have any experience with Minimate, yet.  I only add 
products every few months, so vi has been adequate so far.

         I would say the majority of us have printed the manual. Of course, 
my employer paid for the paper and ink. Mine has a million Post-It notes 
all over it to help me locate sections.  Personally, I read the manual over 
a bunch of times before really digging into the catalog - that way, even if 
I didn't learn something, I could at least recall where it was at in the docs.
         Everything else can be learned pretty quickly in the mailing list 
(archives) which you can search from http://www.minivend.com.  Oh, and a 
good healthy understanding of PERL will make life a lot easier.
