Basic Help With Shipping, please?

[Tev Kaber <tev@acadia.net>]

Ok, I am new to minivend, and cannot for the life of me figure out how
shipping works.
I have read through the documentation, but without specific examples, I am
still unclear on how it works, and of course each store I am setting up
needs some wacky custom shipping.

This store is the first one I have done, shipping is simply the number of
items in the cart times a choice of 5 shipping types.

In the catalog.cfg file, I have:

CustomShipping       Yes			(this is how it is in the demo store)
DefaultShipping      1 			(this is to make Regular UPS the default)
# OldShipping  Yes				(commented out like it is in the demo store)
#Shipping					(commented out like it is in the demo store)
TaxShipping          __TAXSHIPPING__ ,	(this is how it is in the demo store)


I changed shipping.asc to:

code	description	criteria	min	max	formula
0	No shipping     	weight	0	99999999	e No shipping mode selected.
1	Regular UPS     	quantity	0	99999999	x 5.00
2	Alaska or Hawaii	quantity	0	99999999	x 17.50
3	US Postal Priority	quantity	0	99999999	x 9.00
4	2nd Day Air     	quantity	0	99999999	x 19.00

But when I add something to the cart, and go to check out, the shipping
code (the default code):
    <SELECT MV=loop
        MV.ARG="[data
		table=country
		key='[default country US]'
		sf=selector
		col=shipmodes
		]"
        MV.OPTION="mv_shipmode"
        onChange="this.form.submit()"
        NAME="mv_shipmode">
    <OPTION VALUE="[loop-code]"> [shipping-desc [loop-code]] [shipping
[loop-code]]
    </SELECT>

Displays a choice of 3 options, all of which are "0.00" !

Please, what am I doing wrong?
Trying to figure it out without knowing what I am doing wrong is driving me
crazy!

Thanks!
