Well I don't know anything about MIVA, but have you considered using
mod_rewrite*? This would allow you to leaves all the filenames the same
but just change the urls from the files.

http://www.xyz.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=1&Catego
ry_Code=Antioxidants
www.xyz.com/Screen/CTGY/Store_Code/1/Category_Code/Antioxidants
And of course you could shorten those url's even more but I just stuck
with the basics.

* I don't know anything about MIVA so I'm just assuming it's *nix based.
If it's MS based (i.e. running IIS as webserver) there are plenty of
other url rewriting tools for IIS.
