Just wanted to finish this thread up... If you use "SpecialPage" to rename
the shipping.asc and accessories.asc databases, things should work fine.
(The documentation needs to reflect this:
http://www.minivend.com/minivend/docindex/16.01.Shipping_Cost_Database.html
is wrong, it should say "SpecialPage", not "Special")

However, it will not work if you try to rename the salestax.asc database.

The attached patch is needed if the SpecialPage directive is to work across
all three databases.
