Hi Ed,

Many thanks for your reply :o)

I've been using the UI to input the shipping method and data table which 
has produced the following in shipping.asc:

REC2ND  Standard Shipping (3-5 Days)    weight  0       0       e Your 
Basket is Empty!         {'ui_ship_type' => "weight",'ups' =>

I realise this is cheeky, but could you show me an example using the above

Many thanks
