1.I know it is possible to use the referrer script to bring a customer to the site and track where the came from.

2.It is also possible to take somebody straight to a products on a Catalogue page, using the search script.

3.You can also add a product straight to the shopping cart from outside catalogue.

My question, is it possible to do 2 and or 3 and have a referrer returned with the order?

I'm afraid not. The only way you could potentially do this is have the referrer script taking you to a bounce page in the acatalog folder that then went to the product. The other way that would work would be if you had one product per section.

3.You can also add a product straight to the shopping cart from outside catalogue.

This is not possible I'm afraid, there are various hidden form elements on the product pages that ensure that the correct product is added to the cart at the correct price. Sorry about that.

It would be **really** useful to be able to jump direct to a product, rather than a section folks........
any chance a bored programmer would like top adjust the referrer.pl code to do this?
please???
