RE: [mv] Shipping Cost On Each Item
****** message to minivend-users from "Christopher Thompson" <ct@arborinternet.com> ******
I believe Mike Heins posted a UserTag template a while back to use with
shipping, or perhaps it was a GlobalSub. I think you would write your own
routine and then, in your shipping.asc file, specify to use that routine
and a field of your choice to calculate shipping. Perhaps Mike might be
kind enough to post the template and instructions again on how to do this.
