Well, its good to know it can be done. I'm not sure I ever fully 
doubted that - I more doubted my own inclination to devise my own data 
grid system from the ground up starting with a field. To me it sounds 
like a lot of careful programming, and understanding the ins-and-outs 
of transcript relating to fields, etc. better than I do.

Jerry's system sounds pretty awesome, but as this program will 
initially be self-financed, I'm not sure there is room in the budget 
for a custom interface component of that calibre and scope.
