Curries Configurator "r30"

I just posted the "r30" update to our Curries configurator.  This update completes the remediation of issues found in our own test-suite.  Mostly these were add-ons that would not resolve a price, and...as such would not allow a Save & Exit when these specific attributes were chosen.

I also decided to change any adders to display on separate lines below the base product (rather than as suffixes as with hardware items).

Dorma Configurator Updated With New Pricing - Price Book #20

CRT Enhancements - PO Saving w/Auto-DocID

The current version is now v.1.09.0405.3
Release Notes:
1. If you're using our Auto-DocID feature you will now be prompted to save your POs as a new ".xpo" format.  This will allow you to retrieve and reprint POs as needed.  This also begins to provide a sense of order-status, which we will continue to build on.
2. As PO are saved they will also be added to the "Print PO"  menu.  You can also delete POs by click the submenu "Delete" item (next to each existing PO).

CRT Enhancements

This current version of CRT is now v.1.09.0404.92
Release Notes:

2. Change the "Order Profit Status" to display on 2 lines (better for smaller screens)
3. The default Save As filename will now default to the following - CustomerName_DocAutoID_JobName.
4. Fixed the DocAutoID # button to save changes to the prefix & suffix values.
