Okay, a little research seems to indicate that I was not completely
correct.  the &charge only seems to be good if you are defining a custom
charge subroutine, otherwise it seems to be ignored.  If it serves some
other purpose, I have not discovered it yet.  Just a guess, but if the 
directive is not there, there will probably not be an attempt to make
a charge.  What you really want is to set mv_cyber_mode to mauthonly
somewhere in one of your pages that is involved in the session the user
will have when they order.  The checkout page comes to mind.

Todd,
&charge=mauthonly or &charge=[var CYBER_MODE] is the short answer.  The
long answer might be something like:  IC is (more or less) configured to
use cybercash as the default, and so the settings for the default store
are a good guide.
