I tried this:

FLATD   Flat rate       quantity        0       0       e Nothing to 
ship!              {'PriceDivide' => "1",}
FLATD   Flat rate       quantity        1       4       6 
{'PriceDivide' => "1",}
FLATD   Flat rate       quantity        5       9999999 f f (@@TOTAL@@ * 
6)     {'PriceDivide' => "1",}

But if I put 20 items in a basket I get $120 for shipping.  It seems 
like the formula part is never being used.

Where exactly would I put this, though?

Thanks,
