I found it very simple to do. YMMV

In checkout.html:


  <tr bgcolor="#FF9900">
        <td><font __FFACE__ size="1"><b><font color="#FFFFFF">
Comments:</font></b></font></td>
        <td><font __FFACE__ size="1"><b><font
color="#FF9900">a</font></b></font></td>
        <td>&nbsp;</td>
        <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>


<TR>
<TD>Comments: </TD>
<TD><TEXTAREA NAME="comments" ROWS=10 COLS=40></TEXTAREA></TD>
</TR>


In /etc/report: (Put it anywhere you like to see it!)

        Comments: [value comments]

This only goes to me and not to the customer. (That change needs to be
put in another file) Nor does it log the comments anywhere.

As I said: YMMV
