    Thanks for your response, it allowed me to know where to look and to
have some vague understanding as to what was going on.  After looking at the
code for a bit, reading your message, pondering an earlier email from Mike
where he indicated to me that what I wanted to do should work, and using the
trial-and-error development method, I discovered that all you have to do is
add:

<input type=hidden name="mv_order_item" value="[item-code]">
<input type=hidden name="mv_sku" value="[item-code]">
<input type=hidden name="mv_order_quantity" value=0>

    Somewhere near the top of your order form.  This idea wouldn't have come
without your message as I wouldn't have realized that the first sku was
being used as the base for all subsequent skus.  But it does appear to work
sofar.
