Thanks Doppler
I didn't know that Quickfigure needed the keyboard.
Sometimes I want to make calculations on the fly while talking over a
transaction at a boardroom table. Pulling out a keyboard just isn't all
that natural. Doing some quick calculations on a portable device that
allowed columns of cashflows to be quickly entered using the stylus would be
more expeditious.
Cheers
Tony.

tony, why dont you just use the quickfigure works and calculator packages?
of course youd need a keyboard for that, but you can buy one from somebody
on the list.
the quickfigure package is compatible with excel, so it should make you
quite comfy. you can import and export data as you like and copy graphs
(line, bar and pie afaik) to the regular works application. i guess you can
import your regular NPV sheets with some tweaks and use the newt as a
desktop replacement for what you do. well, there are SOME things you just
CANT do with a palm... :)
maybe someone can chime in on other good tools/works enhancements
(pelicanware???), otherwise check unna. i can also mail you some of those
packages.
good luck!
