Thanks -- that was exactly what I needed.  Everything went smoothly!

And Nils, I have contacted the commercial unit to discuss services.

Hi,

Including new fields is pretty straightforward:
Go to SysConfig (/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminSysConfig), search for freetext, click on Core::TicketFreeText 
and define freetext and freekeys, take note of the number you used (example freetext1) and then search again
for Frontend::Agent::Ticket::ViewEmailNew (or Frontend::Agent::Ticket::ViewPhoneNew or Frontend::Customer::Ticket::ViewNew)
and enable the TicketFreeText (in this case 1), type 1 for optional field and 2 for mandatory field
