Sorry about that. I actually agonized for a couple of seconds over what letter to use. Thought first of e for exponent, but rejected it since e = 2.7 . . .. So what *is* a good letter for exponent? It's easy to see why they resorted to Greek letters. --Dan On 2013-08-28, at 2:59 PM, rcs@xmission.com wrote:
