heman,
Patient walks into the room, flops his hand back and forth by shaking his arm and says, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
Doctor says, "Well then, don't do that."
I tried to follow your instructions as best as I could follow them and everything worked fine here.

I did manage to replicate this - it seems to only work if you modify the second item entered into the sale and press Esc to clear the price, then Delete the stock number and subtotal.
While I was testing this I tried it with some other products:
1) In a blank sale, added $2.36 worth of bananas
2) Added $4.99 of paper
3) Hit TAB (all stock codes set to scanned) to modify the last line
4) Hit ESC to clear the price of the paper
5) Hit ESC again to move to the stock number field
6) Pressed DEL to delete that stock number - at this point the paper has now disappeared from the sale but the subtotal remains $7.35 (incl tax).
7) Hit + to begin tender process
8) Subtotal now reads $131.53 ?!
9) What the heck, I tender $140.00 cash
10) Well it definitely was some kind of calculation glitch, the change has been calculated correctly based on the inflated subtotal. $8.47 change.
Receipt printed to file, as below:
I know this is an unusual sale process - but still, that's a rather horrendous calculation glitch.

Fixed
I think I have the problem with changing the previous line fixed. Please try out this file http://dhpos.com/pos639j2.zip and let me know. It is only the POS.EXE file so you must have version 6.39? on you computer to test this file. Please make a backup of your current POS.EXE file first.
You must test that the program works not only when you make the correction and erase the line but also whan you do not erase the line. In other words test that the parts of the program that were not changed still work. It is nasty when one thing gets fixed and that causes something else to go haywire.
