My understanding was that $ in a template meant that line would not be shown if the record being called contained no data but when I use it, the line still shows regardless of whether the record has a value or not and it prints '$' at the beginning of the line.
Is there some other setting that controls the use of this function within VPASP?

I'm not sure which version of vpasp it started to appear in.
you need to make sure that the $ is the very first character on that line, and that the field and its associated html is all on the same physical line (using notepad rather than wordpad to edit the template as wordpad uses different newline logic)

It should work without having to turn any config options on/off.

It'll also only work properly if there's just one template-field on that line.

eg:
$ [extendeddesc]<br>[pother1]<br>

won't work properly, but:
$ [extendeddesc]<br>
$ [pother1]<br>
would work properly

It also won't work with some special template fields such as [ADD_CROSSSELING] as they do straight-forward prints rather than constructing the html into a variable.

That's where my problem was - I'd indented the lines with the $. Thanks for sorting yet another problem out for me.
