Hi,

Sorry, but the urgency is thus: I need to have a handle on how to add,
update, remove products and the categories they go into before I can use
Minivend. I noticed that after adding a few products and restarting a few
times (or now perhaps it was after I did a search in the demo) that the
products.asc.8 was built and then the category search would work, so I need
to know precisely what triggers that, and I thought I would get it without
having to comb through a lot of source code. I have already started reading
the source for my answers.

I also would like to know how to get a report of categories and products
under them on the screen:

Category
	product 1
	product 2
Fruit
	Orange
	Apple
Cars
	GMC
	Chrysler
	Porsche

etc...
