Actually, more annoying than anything. I built my first store using the General Store example from 2.x, and didn't like the way a shopper would have to ping-pong back and forth between the results table and the cart everytime they wanted to add another item. I wanted something a little more elegant...like having the same results page reload after they'd added something to the cart, so they can keep on shopping. Then, when they're ready to check out, of course they can proceed to the cart by clicking a little shopping cart icon or something. I suppose a checkbox by each item would do equally as well (as in the tinystore example), but I liked the look of the MacConnection site... Thanks to PCS support and all who answered, I've got some ideas for how to proceed now...-will Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
