That doc is here:

I used the [userdb set_cart] and [userdb get_cart] features constantly with 
Minivend 3.x, but I just have not had the need with any IC catalogs I have 
worked on.

[userdb get_cart] takes a target parameter (i.e. [userdb function=get_cart 
target=cartname] to load a saved cart into an 'active' cart, main should be 
the default), and though it is not documented, set_cart takes a source 
parameter: [userdb function=set_cart source=cartname] (again, main should 
be the default).  Hope this helps.
