Hi Dave,
if you just copy the formula from row 2 down, it will come out all right 
without you having to edit anything:
=sum(C2, A3-B3)
=sum(C3, A4-B4)
=sum(C4, A5-B5)
and so on.
Write the first formula =sum(A2,B2)  on cell C2, 
the second formula =sum(C2,A3-B3) on cell C3, click on cell C3, edit->copy, 
select as many rows down from A4 as you want, edit->paste, and you're done.
