	For a game I play (yes, it's only a game, I know, why am I troubling 
all of you with it?  Well, somebody out there might know...)  it becomes
helpful if not necessary to know a good expansion formula for (a+b+c)^N. 
Now I'm aware that the expansion 'formula' for (a+b)^N is just Pascal's Triangle,
but I'm wondering if any of you wizards out there know of something similar
for (a+b+c)^N without my having to go through the whole sadistic algebraic
death of actually deriving each and every one for N=1 to 10?
	Thanks in advance, that is if anyone actually knows of one...
