Hi Geoff,

Just a quick pointer :
- open the documentation
- go to the Roadmap
- go to the section "All Documentation By Category"
- click on "Values & Properties"
- have a look at the entry "About containers,
variables and sources of value"
- also click on "Math, Logic & Dates" to get a list of
buimlt-in logic and math functions that you can ue in
your expressions.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
