Static Page Building (help)

[Pumin Wuvanich <pumin@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

    How does StaticPath works?, i set mine as

    StaticPath http://www.mydomain.com/

    and i still couldn't direct minivend to my static html directory.

    For example, i have a static page called 'test.html' in '/home/html', 
and also in 'pages/.static' contains a line 'test.html'.  However, when i 
use tag [area test], Minivend still normally parses  the link as

'http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/simple/test.html?ovSJbzoI;;147', which is a 
fly page.  Shouldn't it be parsed as

'http://www.mydomain.com/test.html' ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Best Regards,
Pumin
