For this to work correctly in the German locale you wll need
	[vat][subtotal noformat=1][/vat]

and to format this for proper price display it will be
	[currency][vat][subtotal noformat=1][/vat][/currency]

This is in checkout.html, and a version which works with localization is in
the 3.12 beta simple demo.

basically you need to make sure the mv_click matches the scratch variable
on the page, so the relevant part is:

[set [L]Place Order![/L]]
mv_todo=submit
[if config CyberCash]mv_cyber_mode=__CYBER_MODE__
[/if]
[/set]

and in the form:
<INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=mv_click VALUE="[L]Place Order![/L]">

The default shipmode is defined in the catalog.cfg (DefaultShipping). If
you use the simple demo from 3.12beta the shipmodes are defined in
country.asc. In the previous version the shipmodes were defined in
catalog.cfg if I remember correctly.
