Definitely the better strategy. I'll keep this in mind for when I have more time to look into it. I downloaded it to take a look. Is there a some kind of user guide or other resource that might help getting started? I also found another text-mode spreadsheet called slsc. Would you know if either of these is still maintained and where I should go, should I need some form of assistance? Thanks, cga
