	I thought of a kind of duplication of structure, but you're
right, it wouldn't be worth the trouble especially if we can store
the sort criteria in a next version (I think Marc said he has planned
that) and the good one can be triggered after recalculations.

	Yes it will. Will we be able to trigger the recomputations
in this script (to get auto-recompute on a per-database basis) ?
	Wow ! It opens a lot of things : filter on special records
containing grouping informations calculated and displayed alone
on a screen. I already see how it can help me in my day-to-day
usage of DB...

	So, as I speak of wishes. I also use a very powerfull free
application named megawiki witch enpower the concept of link through
all the standard applications and databases. You just tap or double-tap
on a wikiname or string enclosed in separators and depending of the
separators or the semantic of the string, you're carried to the
corresponding entry in the database (memo, date in datebook, entry
in the phonebook) which is created if necessary. You have to use it
to note the power and the lightweight of the solution to link all
the kind of informations you can store in a handheld.
	But when I tap in DB, the hack is not activated. Sorry, can't
tell you more.
