Cell Info:

Cells may contain numbers, a formula, text or grahic characters.
The cell type, its coordinates and contents if it is numeric or a
formula are shown at the bottom left corner on the screen.

Example:
A 5   Value:    (A1:A4)
        This means that the current cell is A5 and that it
        contains a value resulting from formula that adds all
        the cells from A1 thru A4. The result of the formula
        is shown at the cell location.

A10   Text:
        This means that Cell A10 contains text or is empty. The
        actual text is shown only at the cell location.

A12   Value:    1000.00
        This means that Cell A12 is a value cell containing a number
        The result or number is also show at the cell location.

Math Operators                 Example

  addition:         '+'    (A10 + A11)
  multiplication:   '*'    (A10 * 1.5)
  subtraction:      '-'    (A10 - A11)
  division:         '/'    (A10 / A12)

To raise a number to any power use the up caret,  '^',
ie.. (2^10) will raise the number '2' to the '10th power'.
The character ':' (colon) is used to denote a range of cells
to add, ie..(A1 : A5) means to add and total all cells A1 thru A5.

(A1+(B2-C7))    Subtracts cell C7 from B2 and adds the result to cell A1
((A1:A22)/22)   The sum total of cells:  'A1 thru A22' divided by 22.
(A1:B5)         The sum total of cells:  'A1 thru A5 and B1 thru B5'
(A1*(1.072^10)) Multiplys cell A1 by the result of 1.072 to
                the 10th power. This is a future value formula.

Note: Nested or mulitiple operations MUST be contained in parentheses
      or your result may not be accurate! Reveiw the above examples.

Linking Spread Sheets:

   A cell may reference another cell contained in a prior sheet by
   Linking to the prior sheet. Linking is accomplished by pressing
   "Ctrl L" and typing in the name of the sheet you want linked. You
   are prompted for the cell reference (ie E12) on the linked sheet.

   You may not edit a linked cell. To make changes, you must delete
   the linked cell and re-link. Linked data is loaded from prior sheets
   at the time of linking or when ever a sheet is loaded if the sheet
   being loaded has cells using the linking function.

   Important:   Be sure you know the correct cell coordinate for the
                data thats on the sheet that you want to link to
                before performing the link.

        The following built-in functions are available:
Example                  Purpose/Description

ABS(num)    - Returns the Absolute Value of a number.
ARCTAN(num) - Returns the Angle, in radians, whose tangent is 'num'.
COS(num)    - Returns the Cosine of a number
FRAC(num)   - Returns the Fractional part of a number.
INT(num)    - Returns the Integer Value of a number.
SIN(num)    - Returns the Sine of a number.
SQRT(num)   - Returns the Square Root of a number.
SQR(num)    - Returns the Square of a number.
LN(num)     - Returns the Natural Logarithm of a number.
LOG(num)    - Results in the Logarithm (base 10) of a number.
EXP(num)    - Returns the exponential of a number.
AVG(cell ref : cell ref) - Averages cells within the references.

Note: that the next functions are NOT preceded by any characters.
    (cell ref : cell ref) - Sums the Total all cells within the references.
    (cell ref < cell ref) - Returns the lessor value of the references.
    (cell ref > cell ref) - Returns the greater value of the references.
Note: 'num' may be a number, cell reference or formula.

Special Functions:

CHOOSE(cell ref, cell ref : cell ref) - Choose will find the value in the
"nth" item in a range of cells between "cell ref : cell ref" where the
first cell ref following CHOOSE( is the counter for the "nth" location.
A definiton for CHOOSE is: Choose the "nth" item in the following range.

LOOKUP(cell ref, cell ref : cell ref) - Lookup will compare the value of
the first cell reference following LOOKUP( to the values in the range
listed in the next two cell references. When a value is found that is
less than or equal to the initial lookup value, then the lookup function
returns the value of the cell in the next column (same row) as the found
value.

Note: Neither the CHOOSE or LOOKUP functions may be used directly within
a formula. However, you may reference a cell that uses LOOKUP or CHOOSE.

Note: cell ref means the column and row for a cell ie "B15"

      Entering Data (Text, Numbers, Formulas or Graphic characters):

Function Keys F5, F7 and F9 create horizontal graphic bars

Function Keys F6, F8 and F10 create vertical graphic bars

To enter data move the cursor to the cell and type the desired data.
Entering 'letters' puts you in the text mode and entering 'numbers' or
formulas places you in the 'value' mode.

To enter a formula in a cell begin by typing a left paren "(" followed
by your formula. Pressing the "=" equals key allows you to enter a
simple formula, such as single cell reference added to a number.

Note:  The only way to delete a formula is by pressing the <ESC> key
while in the Edit Mode. When finished entering data press the <return>
key. Pressing <return> will also move you to the next right cell.
