And here's the working example: not the need to GROUP BY, and <=
to get the current payment.

select cust_id,invoice_id,val,paid, (select (sum(val) - sum(paid))
from invoices_not_paid where cust_id= i.cust_id and invoice_id <=
i.invoice_id group by cust_id) as balance  from invoices_not_paid i;

and it's output:

 cust_id | invoice_id |    val    |   paid   |  balance  
---------+------------+-----------+----------+-----------
       1 |         23 | 10.500000 | 3.400000 |  7.100000
       1 |         34 |  5.700000 | 0.000000 | 12.800000
       1 |         67 | 23.890000 | 4.500000 | 32.190000

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
    (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
