Nigel and dingo,
 
I've been trying to respond to several of your messages, but I'm 
having strange e-mail problems -- mail bounces back to me when I try 
to post to Yahoo, but my mail sent to other places seems to work 
fine.  I'm now trying to send this from the Yahoo web page. 
 
Anyway, between the two of you, you've just about finished my 
project.  I appreciate all the work you've done.  Maybe the 
commissions issue is not so important; if someone is trying to track 
exact costs, for tax planning for example, there are plenty of other 
software packages to do that.  The built-in commission capability in 
Settings is probably good enough for most purposes.
 
Thanks again...
                    ...Don
