October 5 changes for master

I think the two October 5 commits are OK for master.

The three called
sales batch fixes and window_dressing control
are the same, the result of my trying to edit the comment
This is the last, latest.

This one is straightforward:
BUGFIX: point to current dept editor

The October 6 one:

ed870e1a293e59e507af6d6be41be1e192bc55de
works as far as it goes but isn't finished and may not be ready for prime time,

I can submit it again later.
