Paula,
  As you have guessed this is what makes my job so difficult.  I have
heard it both ways.  Many people would rather have column x line y and
other prefer cx, ly.  What should be done?  Also I have been asked
to reverse the order.  Say the line first and then the column.  No matter
what I do there will always be someone who would rather have it the other
way.  Well, how about offering both.  As I see from Ricks message to you
the problem here is code size.  The program get so large because of all
the possibilities. humm.  All this thought is making my brain hurt! ha ha
Not sure what the answer is.  You have to keep the beginners happy as
well as the experts.
  Thanks for your input Paula.
   Regards,
      Doug
