I know its been a couple of months since any reply, but for the benefit of others who may have this or a similar issue, please see:

Following the ideas in this post, I altered the main registration information by changing the following files:
/themes//authentication.tpl
/classes/Customer.php
/admin/tabs/AdminCustomers.php
And also adding the new column in the database table 'ps_customers'

This added a 'referral code' to my site, which was entered only at registration, but was viewable and editable in the back end.

what u mean under `referral code` ?????????

thank you

'referral code' was the name of the new text field I needed to be included in my site registration process. It's whatever you want.

To add column into databaase during installation of module you neet to execute this code:

"addind company ID and Tax ID into ps_adress table"

class CompanyID extends Module
{
   public function __construct()
   {
       $this->name = 'companyid'; //directory name
       $this->tab = 'billing_invoicing';
       $this->version = '1.0';
       $this->author = 'xxx';

       parent::__construct();

       $this->displayName = $this->l('Company ID\'s');
       $this->description = $this->l('This module extends information about customer with Company ID and Tax ID.  ');
       $this->confirmUninstall = $this->l('Are you sure to uninstall this module? Collect and display information about customer\'s Company ID and Tax ID!');

   }

   public function install()
   {
   /* Install and register on hook */    
       if     (!parent::install() 
           OR !$this->registerHook('createAccountForm') 
           OR !$this->registerHook('customerAccount') 
           OR !$this->registerHook('adminCustomers'))
           return false;

           /* Setting database adding column */
       if (!Db::getInstance()->Execute('SELECT company_id from `'._DB_PREFIX_.'address`'))
       { 
           if (!Db::getInstance()->Execute('ALTER TABLE `'._DB_PREFIX_.'address` ADD `company_id` varchar(16) NULL AFTER `phone_mobile`'))
           return false;
       }

       if (!Db::getInstance()->Execute('SELECT tax_id from `'._DB_PREFIX_.'address`'))
       { 
           if (!Db::getInstance()->Execute('ALTER TABLE `'._DB_PREFIX_.'address` ADD `tax_id` varchar(16) NULL AFTER `company_id`'))
           return false;
       }

       /* Set configuration - creates value in ps_modules table */
       Configuration::updateValue('COMPANY_ID_MODULE_ENABLED', 1);
       return true; 
   }

   public function uninstall()
   {
       ....
   }
....

To add whole database, execute inside install() function this condition:

/* Create Table */
           if (!Db::getInstance()->Execute('
           CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `'._DB_PREFIX_.'paypal_order` 
           (`id_order` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `id_transaction` varchar(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id_order`)) ENGINE='._MYSQL_ENGINE_.' DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8'))
               return = false; //returns false if Db::getInstance.. returns true =(!(false=error)) in other case is skipped

To solve the issue that form is hardcoded in core files you can inj elements of your form
(I did not come further because doing this takes much more time than edit core)

use function appendBefore

just sniplet example:

var newP = document.createElement("p");
var txt = 'Kilroy was here.';
var newT = document.createTextNode(txt);
newP.appendChild(newT);
var p2 = document.getElementsByTagName('p')[1];
p2[removed].insertBefore(newP,p2);

You have to replace submit form button by our button by new element (submit button)

d.removeChild(X); 
document.createElement(Y);

and then submit form with cURL or fopen to file url=/modules/your_module/your_code.php - this form should contain altered authentification.php class from core. More here http://www.html-form-guide.com/php-form/php-form-submit.html

last issue to redirect via cURL to /my-account.php or /order.php?step=1 so it means that is too much complicated
