Ed -
The engraving variable is working wonderfully, and Iīm amazed at itīs
simplicity!
Now Iīm backtracking to the fonttype selection.  As not all the products are
engravable,
I narrowed it down to those with "1,2,3,4" in the fonttype field in the
products.txt.

Is there a way to take the variable chosen on the flypage with

[if-item-field typefont]
    Fonttypes:   [item-accessories fonttype]
[else]
[/else]

and retain THIS value into the basket, without being given the choice option
again?

..and thanks 4 the simple solution to what I though was a BIG problem.
