Joachim -

As far as I can tell, in MV4 Mike put all the usertag files in a directory 
in vendroot called usertag, then referenced them in minivend,cfg with

         #include usertag/*

In MV3, he did not have a usertag directory, but he did have usertags and 
globalsubs in some files: form_mail.cfg, admin/mv_admin.cfg, and some 
others.  The were referenced in minivend.cfg with

         #include admin/mv_admin.cfg

         #include flycat.cfg
         #include form_mail.cfg

It is basically the same thing as MV4, just not as neat.  And it works - in 
most installations I have done.  I don't know why it does not work here.

Does anyone know: where is the Perl code which reads minivend.cfg and 
specifically which opens files it finds in #include statements in 
minivend.cfg, and reads their contents? I have poked through the code of 
start and restart in the bin directory but I don't see it.  I was hoping 
that looking at the code might give me a clue...
