Hi Jon

Thanks for your enlightening comments. OfBiz is a big system to try to
learn, and when I find code in one area that does things the way I want,
but can't find matching code in other places I expect it, I get worried
the code is there but that I'm looking in the wrong place. Your comments
reassure me that when I can't find the code I expect, it may well be
because it doesn't exist.

Yes, tax calculation (specifically GST) is proving very interesting.
Currently I'm mainly looking through the code, trying to work out where
I should make changes that will display the right (for me!) values in
the ecommerce interface, without breaking existing functionality. If I
can, I'd like to make the changes general enough that at least some of
them can be incorporated into the main code base.

I don't need to worry about the accounting side yet, so I'm leaving that
area of GST madness until (and if) I really need to deal with it.

Thanks for the heads up with order items. I'm just now starting to look
at that code properly.

Cheers,
Anne.
