Thank you!  Since I couldn't find any documentation on this tag, I did not know what the
named attributes might be so I tried positional.  [profile [scratch newprofile]] resulted
in ] showing up on the page.  So I tried without the brackets.  Seemed logical since it
works for [if].  Anyway, where I get my non-working ideas isn't important, working
towards a solution here...

I tried this new improved code:
[tmp oldprofile][profile][/tmp][profile]:[profile it][profile]:[subtotal]:[profile
name="[scratch oldprofile]"][profile]

and got this result:
:default-it:$8.00:default-itdefault-it 

Your new code works in cases such as #2 above, where the new profile is named with a
non-null literal, but it doesn't work when the profile is previously null.  Also, I'm not
sure where that "default-" is coming from.  It doesn't come from the name of the profile,
and I can't set a new profile as [profile default-it].  It's ignored.  Any ideas?

thanks again for your help.
