Thanks for the reply. It's not really the question I was asking, but I
really like what you did. I think it solves my immediate problem in an
oblique way, so thank you. That's pretty slick, I must say. I think I
often get so used to typing in "reg y x" that I forget how easy it is
just to calculate simple linear regression output manually. I think
I'll expand a program like this for my permanent files.
I haven't heard from anyone who knows about how the memory schema works,
but I was wondering if there are any written resources on this. Does
NC152 handle this at all?
