Rube Goldberg Code

To append four DBLs to a file, we apparently need to take each and format it as integer (lossy!) then take the first one, bult it into a 1D array of strings with one element, then use insert into array to append the other strings. I have the nagging feeling that this could be simplified. 😄

The lossy factor is a pickle, if you want the file to be readable...

Also, this file is very dangerous if you want any chance of using the application globally. Half the world uses "," as separator, the other ".". Better make sure what you store uses ".", and what's shown uses what the user prefers...

Just the tip of the iceberg (that sank the Titanic!)

Basically, we have long sequences with interactive greedy loops in several frames, and even a frame where many terminal (controls and indicators) are wired to their own local variable. Must be a text programmer! 😄
