[ic] Adding columns to the products database?

[Frysco!]

Hi,

 I downloaded and installed Interchange this past weekend after being
 redirected after looking for Minivend. Certainly, I think that the
 Interchange 'enhanced' version of Minivend is a significant improvement. 

 Anyway... what I'm attempting to do is use the 'simple/barry' catalog and
 modify it for what I need to do. 

 I've pretty much got it close to how I need it now, but I'm to the point
 where I need to add a few more columns/fields to the products database
 (doing this via the products.txt file)

 I've tried just tacking the extra column into the text file, but when I
 try and force-reload the pages, or restart the minvend server, the web
 connection to anywhere under /cgi-bin/<catalog> seems to just hang. 

 I'm assuming that there's a relation between products.txt and something
 else that is causing this, but I've so far been unable to find it. 

 Could anyone point me to the right place?

 Thanks in advance,
