I like the way you name the elements as well as the axes.  That would
be very useful as well.  Good idea.

Yeah, I'd kinda like something that works like Numeric, other then the
extra names, so that I could use it unmodified in many different
products.  I'll play around with it when I get some free time.

Thanks for the ideas....
