The PageSelectField section of the Interchange configuration manual
would be a good place to start when working out what the directive
is supposed to do.

If you set the directive to the "template_page" value, quoted above
then you can carry on by following this:

  1) Create a new column, on the products table, called "template_page".

  2) Set the column values to the flypage you want to use for each
     product.  When users click on a product, the specified flypage will
     be called instead of the default "flypage".  If no value is present
     in that column for the selected SKU then the default will be used.

Quick examples:

  * SKU = grand1
  * template_page = grandfather
  * User calls /cgi-bin/cart.cgi/grand1.html
  * Interchange loads pages/grandfather.html, which displays which
    formats and displays the "grand1" product.

  * SKU = grand2
  * template_page = grandfather
  * User calls /cgi-bin/cart.cgi/grand2.html
  * Interchange loads pages/grandfather.html, which displays which
    formats and displays the "grand2" product.

  * SKU = clock4
  * template_page = (blank)
  * User calls /cgi-bin/cart.cgi/clock4.html
  * Interchange loads pages/flypage.html, which displays which formats
    and displays the "clock4" product.

No programming involved, but it's never too late to learn.
