OK,

What we are seeking to do is change the way shipping is calculated for 
several non-standard packaging methods that are being used by a 
customer. There is currently NO provision in IC to handle these 
exceptions. What we wish to do is modify the loop that cycles through 
the cart calculating shipping and add a routine that handles our 
shipping exceptions. We do not need help with the coding. What we would 
like to know is where exactly in the Perl or the source code that the 
looping occurs. We can, of course, keep searching source, but we would 
rather know where to look.

Any help here would be appreciated. Otherwise, we will continue to 
search source.
