balinor, thank you for the welcome.

I have added my x-cart version to my sig. Also, I had looked at the FAQ's and template guide on the forum but I could not find anything that related to the origins of the variables.

Right now I am thankful that I have no need to dramaticlly alter the standard X-Cart templates therefore I do not need to be fully versed in Smarty. However, I do need to make minor changes such as altering default values.

I am continuing to read through the forum as well as Smarty doc's but if you could offer any assistance I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
