[TYPO3-shop] Basket contents not re-populating

[Gregory S. Hoerner Sr.]

I have a site which uses a custom handleScript for payment. When re-directed 
back to the site after the payment gateway has "done it's thing", all of the 
person's information (name, address, etc) as well as shipping options, etc 
chosen are re-populated into the order for use in the "finalize" step. The 
problem is, none of the basket contents are being re-populated.

I've traced the problem to the fact that all other information is stored in 
the session key "recs", while the basket information is being stored in 
"basketExt"...

My question to all is, why would "recs" be re-populated, while "basketExt" 
not be. I used the payment_DIBS.php as an example to start, and I have not 
removed anything, just changed/added as necessary. Is there a particular 
function I should be calling to re-populate the basket?

Any other ideas as to why this may be happening?
