You need to carefully set values like mv_nextpage to make multiple
checkout pages work. I have found that the best way to do multi-page
checkout(I have not used MV4.0 yet, so cannot comment on that) is to have
only the last page be the Minivend checkout page. I make the all of the
checkout pages up to the last checkout page simple forms pages, then
include the collected valued as hidden form valued on the final page.
