Thank you so much Tom.  I have contacted my hosting company, they currently
do not have the tool for me to restart Interchange, and I don't think I
would be able to wait for them to restart it for me everytime I need to.  I
really love to use Interchange and I have been happy with my hosting company
until now.  They also have another shopping cart called Agora.cgi, I am
looking at this in the meantime to see if it would serve my purpose, which
basically would require the users to login, and for me to be able to modify
the menu to point to additional pages.   If this doesn't work, then I might
have to change hosting companies.  Any suggestions?
