Some buy links in the demo (results) will add an item to the basket and 
return to the same page, showing the basket at the top of the page. 
However other links (flypage) will transfer you to the basket (which is 
more "normal" behaviour in my experience).

If you edit your catalog.cfg and set:

SeparateItems   No

Then buying the same item twice will simply increase the quantity rather 
than adding a duplicate.

I think the demo does this on the results page using a different 
technique - you'll have to check the source to see how it's done :)
