True.

One thing I have not documented for Minivend 4 is that the
two-letter abbreviations will work in a search form as well:

	<FORM ACTION="[area search]">
	<INPUT NAME=se>
	</FORM>

and 

	<FORM ACTION="[area search]">
	<INPUT NAME=mv_searchspec>
	</FORM>

are the same.

In fact, by mapping variables with the etc/varnames file, you can
change any Minivend variable name. This can be useful if you want
to provide your own signature for certain forms.
