No worries, I've given up for the mo anyways. I was writing a program for my
Graphics Calculator (I've written one for Simple Interest with and Unknown
Value, Optimisation and various others) but my mathing abilities haven't
reached this far yet.

But if you could point me in the direction of some places to get info on how
to do this kind of thing, it would be great.
