Variable Price Break Help - Have Std Price Breaks Working

[Loy Ellen Gross <design@iinc.com>]

I have a catalog with price breaks at 3 units, 5 units and 10 units.
This is working fine. To accomplish this, I'm using 

 - catalog.cfg -

   Database pricing pricing.asc 1
   MixMatch No
   PriceBreaks 3 5 10

And all other directives commented out. Note: I did try using
CommonAdjust pricing:q3,q5,q10:, ;products:price, ==quantity:pricing
in here, but could not for the life of me get it working. The method
above works fine. 

 - pricing.asc -

   code|price          
   GHIR-100|30.06 28.79
   GHIR-163|61.73 58.66 54.52
   GHIR-300|57.67 54.10 52.00
   GHIR-3WS|76.19 73.12 72.15
   GHIR-630|53.29 51.03
   GHIR-664|53.57 47.93
   GHIR-6DD|59.63 56.68
   GHIR-AST|37.75 35.87 33.29
   GHIR-CH|37.75 35.87 
   GHIR-CM|37.75 35.87 
   GHIR-DC|37.75 35.87 
   ... and so on

Price Breaks were stabilized at 3, 5, and 10 to make things easier
in the catalog and currently the flypage displays correctly with this
snippet of code:

  <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top">                                  
    <TD class="productdesc"> 
      <INPUT SIZE=3 NAME=mv_order_quantity>    
      <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_order_item VALUE="[item-code]"> </TD>
    <TD class="productdesc" NOWRAP> [item-code] </TD>                 
    <TD class="productdesc"> [item-field itemtitle] </TD>         
    <TD class="productdesc" ALIGN="right"> [item-price] </TD>     
    <TD class="productdesc"> [item-field unit] </TD>                  
    <TD class="productdesc" ALIGN="right"> [item-price 3] </TD>   
    <TD class="productdesc" ALIGN="right"> [item-price 5] </TD>   
    <TD class="productdesc" ALIGN="right"> [item-price 10] </TD>  
  </TR>                                                           

Granted, some products do not have a different price at qty 10 and so
display the same value twice, but the viewer gets the point.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM:

The catalog owner has now decided to offer a select product line at 
price breaks of 36 units, 60 units and 120 units - NOT 3, 5, and 10. 
I know I can setup additional price breaks in the file and have the 
correct pricing on the receipt - BUT - 

How do I get minivend to NOT display 3/5/10 pricing for these items? 

How do I get minivend to NOT display a price break whereever one 
does not exist? (would be useful since some items don't have qty10
pricing)

What do I enter in the pricing.asc file to skip price breaks in the 
middle of the sequence? (at the end is easy - they're just blank)

Looked through the docs and through the archives and can't find the
answer. I'm lost in the CommonAdjust stuff - just can't get my head
wrapped around the method - but I'm willing to try that method if 
someone can help me understand it. I fell back on PriceBreaks because
I could get it working :-) A Perl solution is also welcome - tried a
couple of things but they weren't right.

We're currently running 3.12 and will be installing 3.14 by the end
of this week (yes, we know we're behind :-). 

Much thanks in advance!
