How can I setup my shopping cart to send purchased documents automatically?

Question

I want to sell some documents that I've created on my website. The only way I know to sell them at the moment is to accept a payment through my Paypal shopping cart and then manually email the documents. However, I would like my website to automatically send these documents as soon as they are purchased. Does anyone have any ideas how to connect these two functions? Thanks.

Well the easiest would be to install OSCommerce it has a feature that lets people download once they have paid.
Then when they are returned to your site from paypal they can just click the document and download it. Called electronic delivery.
