If I edit the merchandise , you can see the description under edit but it is not showing outside of edit ....

This was working before

You'll need to add the new field to the template for where you want it to show. It'll likely be something like {$item.store_description} that'll need to be added (dependent on what you called your custom field).

So you've added the custom description field to the jrFile module, something like 'file_description'?
What have you done then? Have you added the smarty variable {$item.file_description} to the appropriate module templates (item_list.tpl, item_detail.tpl)? If you've done this (and cleared caches after doing it), what skin are you using? Check that there are no jrFile template overides in the skin.

The same as you added description. You will need to choose approprite field types, either a single 'textarea', say, or several text fields for file_address_line_1, file_address_line_2, file_address_city, file_address_country, file_address_zip or whatever is needed.

I tried to create a second item and the description box dose not show along with the added fields "file_address_line_1, file_address_line_2, file_address_city, file_address_country, file_address_zip "

I find I can use the file module to sell merchandise and other goods and services and I want to modify the form so the user can enter Name ,address so when they buy an Item than info gets sends to the admin to be processed

What your asking is a complex procedure, the overview is, you'll need to locate where the email is being sent from then see if the variables you're interested in are available there, then add them to the email template (if its an email template controlling the email).

Not something that anyone has done, so nobody is going to know the exact steps to copy+paste or follow.
