Apologies, it was my somewhat snide reply to your question: What you just
asked for was a complete APPLICATION ! And the fact you have to deal with
the HORRIBLE CSV format.  Commas should have NEVER ever been used for
delimiters, period. Returns mess up everything.

Actually what you asked could be a library or an app. What would you pay for
such a thing?

Anyway, you'll like the one you make better anyway than some partial demo
stack. If you can make this to your stated specs in 5 hours, then you are a
much more efficient coder than I am.

Even if it's for myself, I like to take time with the gui, the menus, etc.
It makes a difference if it's just being used by me rather than by others of
course. If somebody else has to use it, then it's a whole new ball game,
support, etc.
