Frans -

    I  am a bit concerned with this sentence in the article,  "The indicators S1
through S6 and R1 through R6 should be plotted as points and not as a continuous
line,"  because I am looking for a continuous, or straight, line.  Tomorrow, I
will see how this pans out and if it does what I want to do.
    Thanks!
