Thank-you!  It was the missing parenthesis...  Unfortunately, after thinking
through it more, I want to add 7% of the order total to the shipping total,
NOT 7% of the UPS rate to the shipping total.  So, the new question is, can
I add an amount based on price to a method based on weight?

Any takers?
