Thanks!  I think I will keep the whole thing in there as not to affect
anything in the Admin UI.  

I have made a "packing slip" admin page and my client wants to ONLY show
the description.  I'm not the greatest perl regex person, Does anybody
have a quick couple of lines to filter out the mode?

example:
change "ups_ground (UPS Ground)" into just "UPS Ground"
something like:
s/ beginning of line up to and including the first ( //g
s/ starting from and including first ) to end of line //g

Thanks!
Rick
