Hi 
I am looking for some sort of manual for Atari Works
Spread Sheet. Was such a thing ever made?
I am trying to make a spread sheet as described below.
I am pretty sure that Works can do it but all the logical
formula entries I try just don't work.I have no trouble 
with simple additions etc but it's when I try to get the 
prg to look for ,say all columns with horse 7 then add 
the bets.
This probably only looks right in a monospaced font.



    <-------- Will be about 40-50 colums wide ------>
----------------------------------------------------------
  3	7	3	5	1	7                 Horse #
----------------------------------------------------------
  5	6.5	8	7	3	8                 Target in $
----------------------------------------------------------
                                                           odds
----------------------------------------------------------
                                                           Bet target*odds
----------------------------------------------------------
I need to calculate the individual bets for each column then
add the same horse number's bets together so I know the total
bet to be had on that horse. If a horse wins, the target is to be
returned to a set level for the next race and the ones that don't 
win have to have the target added to the bet then carried down as
the new target for the next race. Ideally the odds should only have 
to entered into one cell, which is related to it's particular horse
number, from which all columns with the same horse number can do their 
bet calculations.Hope you can help.Doing this on paper for 3 race 
meetings on Saturdays really keeps you busy :)

Hoping someone can help
Please mail me
BTW if your interested this system does make money :)
