The point of a page like 9999999.html is that it is static and you 
can tweak it as you wish for special products.  A custom product page 
**is** the flypage.  I'm probably not understanding the question.  The
usual minivend flypage [item*] is there in either flypage.

See also the PageSelect field.  That might give you some ideas.  
<understatement> Look at [loop] for ideas on category pages.  Category
pages are much harder because the concept of category is, well, fluid.
