Pete -

I don't mean to be impolite, but you need to read the docs and make an
effort to learn the basics on your own.  The fucntion of results.html is
explained quite clearly in the docs, in the section which deals with
searches.

There is VERY LITTLE that is self-evident about Minivend, if you are
working with it for the first time.  Plan to hunker down and do a bunch of
reading and trial and error. It is an unspoken assumption that a question
is only posted to this list after the inquirer has made a serious effort to
crack the nut on thier own.  It keeps the already volumous traffic down.
