Nothing to be sorry for - it's just pretty hard to understand half
finished code if you have not even an idea what it should do. Thanks for
your reply - I understand much more now.

This is the ting I need.

Ah, i see. The confusing stuff are only the labels. But I'm not really
sure how to make it better. Maybe something like "Coupon System-Article"
and "adds a free Article"
And does this really require an additional article-type? Think it could
just be an optional feature of the first one.

My Guess was in the right direction - nice to have one fine day, but I
don't need it for now.

I'm going to add the Move as an optional feature - expect a patch.
Since there will be almost 2000 coupons it would be quite hard to keep
track without.
