Jim,
If Freedom Scientific was actually rigorous in documenting improvements,
functionality, as well as remaining issues, I imagine one year of my life
would have been saved in order to do better, well OK, if not better, then at

scripters on this list have lost. This is not even mentioning how many posts
on this list serve would have been unnecessary.
