texte = Good tip Terry,Hey Pacific-Coast - this kind of stuff in your manuals would be real nice (hint, hint)dan t.ps. yes the searchable talk list archive is a great resource also but for the price of your software I know of many people that are suprised with the below-average documentation. The WebMerchant 22 page Technical Reference is one of the quickest reads on my shelf and every time I read it, I am left wanting more. It would be nice if you doubled your efforts on documentation and ease of use.Just my 2 cents on how you can make this great product a true butt kicker! > >For you Jim, here's what made it finally click for me.
