You don't need to edit the database....you can set up a screen which
inputs an mv_price modifier for order entry. That will magically become
the price for that order only, as long as your first CommonAdjust
entry is "$".

So, to look at the default from catalog.cfg:

    CommonAdjust    :sale_price, ;:price, ;$, ==:options
    
Make that:

    CommonAdjust    $, ;:sale_price, ;:price, ==:options

and it will work.

You will need to do

	[set mv_UseModifier]mv_price[/set]

to get it to work, along with a text box

	<input name="[modifier-name mv_price]" size=12>

in the item list.
