[ic] Can't restore saved carts

[Moe Pitman]

Thanks, Ed!

Actually, I have finally been able to dig into the usertag section and
discover the load_cart and delete_cart family of functions that handle these
calls.  Including the following line near the top of my basket.html did the
trick:

[if cgi retrieve_cart][load_cart nickname="[cgi retrieve_cart]"][/if]

This picks up the CGI variable load_cart which is set by the link on the
saved_carts.html page.
