In shipping.asc:

uspspm Priority Mail weight 150 999999 e @@TOTAL@@ lbs too
heavy for Priority Mail {}
(Those are long lines that are tab-delimited)
You need a PriorityMail.csv with a rate chart.
You need to tell your data base manager about this data base (as in
dbconf/default_db/PriorityMail.dbm)
In the country file you need to put this mode in as an option for your
country.txt file (presumably the USA from your message) Mine is:
US US fdxg uspspm fdxa fdxb United States
(tab delimited)
Feel free to ask me specific questions.
