Dear Brian,

The Admin interface allows you to populate the merchandising table by
clicking on Up Sell or Cross Sell in the Items section.  I used a custom
perl script to import data to get it started, because I already had a
"related products" field in my previous database.  If you have the
foundation demo store, pick through these files to find all the parts:

pages/flypage.html <-- product display page (sets variables to dictate which
components go where, and tells which template(s) are used.
templates/components/promo* <-- code to access merchandising data and build
links to products
templates/regions/* <-- main templates that control the placement of
components.
