Ah, I gotcha.  Hmm, I need to dig into the Order Service funcs then.  
Also, on that note, as this is not high volume retail, I wonder if the 
Order Service (customized to their needs) by itself would do the trick 
?  They still need to do POS'ey functions like auth a credit card in 
real time, but heck, the eCommerce stuff has to as well.   Since there's 
a lot more typing, per order for them, than say a convienience store, 
I'm thinking the web interface would not be to onerous. Then I could 
work on the POS at a more leisurely pace ;) 

I also have to write an interface to the floral networks (teleflora, 
FTD, etc).  Really high tech stuff, not :) Flat files and modems :)

Yes, let's keep this going I will check out the XUI stuff.  Did a quick 
scan of the code, I will look at it in more detail shortly.
