<p>2.<span style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span>Have we added any other capability. For instance, I would love to present a list of variables to be calculated and let my user select or unselect each to decide exactly what he wants as output. With a numeric
field with 0 as unselect and 1 as select, people will always manage to type something else in there. If this interface could have a checklist, or if fields could have a drop down list (Yes/No, etc) then this would greatly expand the utility of this technique.<u></u><u></u></p>
