Subject: [HACKERS] Inputting money

I notice that I have to put single quotes around money amounts if there
is a decimal point in the value.  I appears to be happening because there
is something changing things like "123.45" to "123.450000" and the code
has a problem with that.  There may be a better way to fix this but here
is a simple change to cash.c that lets it accept trailing zeroes.
