Thanks,

Whoa! It's been 10 days and no one's responded to your question! PayPal's pathetic when it comes to tech support, I guess.
Anyway, there's an excellent Dec 2010 document:
"HTML Variables for Website Payments Standard" at this URL:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_html_Appx_websit...
The full description is: "Reference information for all HTML variables supported for use with Buy Now, Donation, Subscribe, Add to Cart, and View Cart buttons, as well as HTML variables supported by the Cart Upload command"
To go to some other useful variable references, go to Developer Home:

Hello AppBuilder and PPCurmudgeon,
Welcome to the Forums.
I'm sorry a community member didn't address your question as quickly as you had hoped. The PayPal Community Help Forum is an online community designed to allow members to help members, rather than as a traditional customer service outlet. Moderators are available and do answer questions when they can, but their primary function is as a community administrator. If you have an inquiry that requires immediate assistance, the best thing to do is log in to your PayPal account and click on "Contact Us." From there, select the option to "Call Us."
PPCurmudgeon,
Thank you for providing the direct links to the resources you found. The best place to find information in regards to button variables would be the PayPal Developer Forums, please click here.
