No, I didn't know that! It seems non-intutive to go to the Edit menu
to edit something like that. At least to me. Still, there really
should be a preferences setting to set the default behaviour.  I
suspect that many/most business do 'Net 30 days' terms most (all?) of the
time.  Having to set this *every* time you create a customer and/or an
invoice is both error prone and a waste of time.
