I wonder if anyone has an example that they can paste in for this, or a 
pointer to the  authoritative documentation. More and more I'm needing 
to connect to another database; for the moment I'm including a small 
mysql access class, and doing mysql_select_db(TYPO3_db); (?)at the 
close. I'd be much more comfortable doing it the typo way, but have been 
unable to dig out the right docs yet,

cheers,
