I have a table and would like to add all costs (in $) in column 3 as a
total. Wondering how do I do that. I have done "=vsum($2..$9)" - but this
hangs my org file and I have to kill it with the -9 switch.
Thanks.

You probably don't really want to replace the contents of column 3 ($3)
with a sum of columns including column 3 ($2..$9)?
To get useful help you'll need to provide the table, or a minimal
example of a table with the same structure.
Yours,
Christian

Here's an example of the table (hope the line breaks are ok)
|Item | Model | price |
| x | v | $323.98
| y | x | $184.45|
| Total | | ?? |

It looks like what you actually want to do is add up the numbers in the
rows of column 3 -- from row 2 to 3 in your example. Your original
formula added up columns (prefixed with `$'). Rows are prefixed with `@'.
You need to get rid of the dollar signs in your cells to let Org know
they contain numbers.
This would work:
| Item | Model | price ($) |
| x | v | 323.98 |
| y | x | 184.45 |
| Total | | 508.43 |
#+TBLFM: @4$3=vsum(@2..@3)
I usually prefer to add horizontal lines and make the formula relative
to them:
| Item | Model | price ($) |
|-------+-------+-----------|
| x | v | 323.98 |
| y | x | 184.45 |
|-------+-------+-----------|
| Total | | 508.43 |
#+TBLFM: @4$3=vsum(@I..@II)
Hope this helps,
Christian
