AFAIK (and this is not much) the foundation demo uses quantity
pricing for dealers. So adding q1... wouldn't change anything for
"ordinary" users.

I would recommend (which may be complete non-sense) to add a
field to the database called "sugg_price" and print it out just
for information. Since you use a DMBS, you can use some SQL query
to add that field on the run without any problems (please note,
if you don't set NoImport your database tables may be dropped and
recreated if you change the .txt files!). After that, you need to
change the pages. To add the value of sugg_price, you could use:

.....
          <td align="left">
                Price: <b>[item-price]<b>
          </td>
          <td align="left">
                <I>(suggested Price: [item-price])</I>
          </td>
.....

Without the fear that this new field will change anything as side
effect.

You can implement that but AFAIK the foundation demo handles it
not in this way.

Documentation is always helpful :) And buying it should help the
development so it may be a good idea. But on this list I read
that are printouts of the online documentation, so you won't get
anythink new AFAIK.

oki,
