I don't know  why you want to do that. Can't you simply search
for your item code (ISBN number) and define a separate search profile for
it ? This way you always have only one item as search result and your
result page for that kind of search has the same format as the
flypage.html.

For a search profile for an ISBN search look into mv_dict_look as the
mv_search_spec in the docs.

Right now, on his new MiniVend home page (looks great, BTW), one gets
only "File Not Found" messages. I assume Mike Heins hasn't had enough time
yet to shuffle everything to its correct location.
