------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 19 09:03:08 -0700 2005 ------- Formula cells should be allowed to start with '+' or '-' along with '=' This would help in ease of use. Many excel or gnumeric users find it easier to start a formula cell by using '+' or '-' (because the number pad contains these and its tough to press '=' every time a formula is to be entered).
