Gary,
Sports Illustrated?
Swimsuit Models?
What are you trying to do to me?
When it comes to wishing,
At my age, all I wish is that I was twenty years older.
Then they wouldn't worry me the way they do!

Graham, nice tip. I never noticed favorites in help.
Gerard, believe it or not we are all very forgetful. I force myself
to read through all the functions on a regular basis to remember what
I can do with AFL.
It's not as much fun as reading the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
issue, but I suppose the idea is to learn the functions, to program
the grail, to make the money, to afford the swimsuit models : ))))
Kind Regards,
Gary
