Many thanks for your answer.
Please, include this very practical how-to guide at your FAQ for helping=
=20
many other newbies.
When I install a new release, does the ct.cgi will be overwritten?
Is it possible to recode the cgi to read an EXTERNAL ASCII TEXT file for=
=20
easy customization, like the language files?
A file that will not be overwritten by new releases.
I imagine a standard file customer_fields.txt (part of released sources)=
=20
and another customer_fields_extras.txt
If the second file does not exists, only the first one is used. If it=20
does exist, BOTH are used.
It will be a LOT more easy than end users tweaking source code. It will =
even open door for a gui customization front end.
For a newbie end user like me, an external and clean text file is much=20
less frightening.
Best Regards.
Andre Felipe
