	If it's in the manual, it's certainly escaped me...

	I'd like to write a "simple" macro that prompts for six
consecutive values, plugs these values into six adjacent columns, and
then extends a graph set one row down.
	I thought I had it, but after a time I realized that older values
came to resemble newer values. In other words, all the new rows were
references to the old rows, and hence all the data changed together.

	Is there any way to combine {getnumber} with an absolute
reference to the current cell, and place a value there?
	I assume that it's simple and I'm just missing it.

	Is there a good book on macro programming in Lotus (really
Quattro Pro with Lotus 1-2-3 tree) as opposed to using the spreadsheet, a
skill I've already mastered.
