Okay, I'm missing something here. How do either of these help me keep
track of items and money, allow the end-user to fill out a form, and
email it all to myself?  Don't get me wrong, I like the DocMan one and I
think I've got another client who can use it, but I don't see how these
are going to letme build my mini-shopping-cart.

The problem was with all of the templates shipped with 4.5.1.

I rather like the new box_business_new.  I'm thinking of redoing my site
with it and Mambo.

Huh?  Then I must have been looking at the wrong docs
(http://docs.mamboserver.com/HomePage) because a quick
glance didn't make it look "easy".

And the other thing I'm looking for is a tutorial on how to build a site
with Mambo; the interactions between the different menu items.  The stuff 
at http://docs.mamboserver.com/HomePage is as helpful as KDE's help,
i.e. not very.

Good.  Can I have it yesterday? :-)
