I've added them to the book as I stated above.  I have also retrieved
them from the book and added them to the report.

That is where most of them are, those weren't that hard (with a little
help from you), but not all. 

in the invoice options there is:  (Partially modified code)

  (gnc:register-inv-option
   (gnc:make-text-option
    (N_ "Display") (N_ "Extra Notes")
     "u" (N_ "Extra notes to put on the invoice")
     ;; oli-custom - Extra notes to add on each invoice, invoice-independent
     ;; yes, I was too lazy to (get-company-name) ;) 
     (string-append (_ "Make all cheques payable to: ") ;;c-name
      (_ "\nDirect all inquiries to: ")))) ;;c-contact)))
     ;;"Make all cheques payable to: Company Name Inc.\nDirect all inquiries to: Mr. Accounting Contact"))

So far I've not been able to get the c-name & c-contact from the book.
This module seems to run before the make-myname-table procedure.  The
book parameter is not accessible at this point.  I have been far too
busy this past 2 months to work on it and figure it out.  Perhaps you or
someone that is good at scheming could fix it easily.

I'll finish cleaning it up and generate a patch. :)
