Actually, it does exist in Lotus, and it sounds like it is
doing in Wingz exactly what it does in Lotus.  The /WTH or V
or B will set up immovable and unaccessable title ranges from
the current point, this is to allow the columner headings to
be seen from where ever you are in the worksheet.  You can
modify areas in the titles range in lotus, but you have to do
a goto to get to that area.  That's the way it works.  Sorry
your having problems, but it sounds like poor docs rather than
a wrong program.  

For a look at a poor implimentation of a feature, look at
wingz and the data fill command.  For a fill you have to put
the range, and the start and end point if the increment is
other than one, it will fill the increment for you in between.
So if I want 100 cells filled, with a step of .0276, I have to
calculate the ending amount so that Wingz will fill the right
increment.  Let's see, start of 3.271+(.0276*100),  Jeez,
sounds like I need a spreadsheet to do the endpoint.  It gets
worse if I have a fill of say 71 rows and 154 columns.  Not
the best implimentation.
