Scott,
Yeah, I was the one talking about xcart.

I would be speaking more of how the administrative end works, setting up 
shipping, taxes, working in webmaster mode to change or troubleshoot xcart, 
importing existing data into xcart. Upgrading xcart versions, what to do 
when the upgrade kit fails, how to fix it. Xcart 4 has some major changes in 
how you setup shipping and taxes, that can be a real headache to setup.

I have only done basic work with the layout schemes. I can tell you files 
NOT to change.

Mike
