Yes.

No.

Again, no.

I did have that. :)

may contain carriage returns; strip them out thusly on the *nix command
line, from within the products directory:

No editing was done with M$ products.

Thanks for all your helpful comments Ed. I did have the shipping field in
the products table and did have values in them. I removed the entries for US
in the country table and replaced them with STD. I also editted catalog.cfg
to make STD my standard shipping mode. Restart IC and it appears to work
now.

Thank you very much for your help!
