This seems like a pretty hard way to do it to me! I used to do
something similar in MobileCalc on my 120, but if didn't allow you to
check boxes. I set up the spreadsheet that calculated the improvement
based on certain info I put in it every day. (Now I still do the same
thing but I use Filemaker and sync to a Handspring Edge)... And let's
be honest.. I don't do it 'every day'
