CHART MENU HELP
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Chart Menu on the Worksheet is used to specify the different
Chart types, or to Remove a Chart.
When a Chart is drawn in the Chart Drawing Window, four other
Menus are available:
* Chart Control - for specifying titles, printing Charts, and
outputting in IFF format.
* Chart Type - for changing the Chart type drawn in the Chart
Drawing Window.
* Options - for specifing the options available for each
Chart Type.
* Colors - for changing the color of the Chart background,
titles, text, and lines.
