When you send the user to a link outside Minivend, all their session info
is lost, so generally this is not something you want to do without a big
flashing warning and a chance for the user bail out.  I imagine for this
reason mv_nextpage will not allow URL's outside of the Minivend space
(maybe Mike can confirm...)

I can suggest a "hack" which will work.  Set mv_nextpage to a blank HTML
page which contains the following within the <head></head> pair:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.wherever.com">

This tag will redirect the user to wherever.com as soon as mv_nextpage is
loaded, which shouldn't take but a fraction of a second as long as it
contains nothing in the <body></body>.

Good Luck!
