Christoph,  First line looks useless to me, but I really want to ask a question
about reporting bugs. I recently reported a problem with +ER not allowing a
value of row 1. I read the bug.reports opening message and looked through all
the previous messages as it suggested to be sure nothing had yet been reported,
but on seeing this post of yours I wonder if the process for reporting bugs
isn't quite what is documented in the first post to bug.reports?

Should I have put something out here in programming first as you did?
Thanks Bill P.
