Thanks for the pointer.  I know Normal distributions are just around the
corner in this course.  I know I'd appreciate any docs on programs
available from Wayne.  As far as binomial, poissant, and geometric distributions
go, the formulas are pretty basic, and I can, "sigh", type them in myself.

As to my reference to my STATs class from hell, :-) well, I'm not bashing
STATs, and I know it's got it's purposes, but I'd rather take something
else, given a choice.
