[ic] Help printing a interchange variable (or whatever it's called)

[Kevin Old]

Hello all,

I am trying to get some basics down with the ITL and am having little
luck.  I'm a very experience Perl programmer and am getting frustrated
cause I'm not fully understanding the basics of the ITL.

Here's an example - printing a variable....

This code is in checkout.html
 [if-item-field weight]
 [seti weight][summary amount=`[item-quantity] * [item-field
weight]`][/seti]
 [/if-item-field]

Now, how do I get the *total* weight printed?  I know how to print each
item's weight, I just write:

[item-field weight]

I've tried all sorts of things to get the weight variable in the "seti"
tag to be printed.  And yes, I do have the weight field with a valid
value for all of the products in my database and I can get each of them
to be printed with the product info, but I need a total of all products
weight.

I seriously have looked at all the documentation and am at a loss on
several basic things like this....

Can anyone provide syntax for a few basic features like printing
variables (or whatever the interchange term is for something that holds
a value), and other useful pieces that would make the ITL a little
easier to get into?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Kevin
