Liam.... If all you're doing with the calculation results is populating a field, then it probably doesn't matter a whit whether you use a function or a handler. The only real difference is that when you call a function, you have to be aware that it's returning a result and that you MUST call it in such a way that the result is dealt with (even if "dealt with" means throwing it away). Thus if you had a handler called calcPrice and a function called calcPrice, you'd call the handler like this:
calcPrice x, y and the function like this: put calcPrice(x,y) into field "foo" or wherever you want it. (You probably already know this stuff and if so I apologize for wasting your time with something obvious but I often find that assuming isn't useful either.)
