 --------------batch: Start>Run: Splus /BATCH inputfile outputfile
                        NOTES: BATCH must be uppercase
                          paths (e.g., c:\mysplus\prog8.out for outputfile
                          may need to be specified to find or direct files
                          from/to desired locations
 --------using files: data files can be stored in DOS files anywhere
                        on system -- NOTE that slashes (not backslashes)
                        must be used in Scripts (programs) to specify
                        external data files: c:/myplus/raw.data
                      Scripts (programs) are stored in *.ssc files
                        with File>Save [As] and called in with
                        File>Open
 ----printing output: the Script window generates output in the bottom
                        half; open a Report window (File>New>Report File)
                        then cut-and-paste the output from the bottom half
                        of the Script window to the Report window, then
                        File>Save [As] or File>Print (if printer is attached)
 ----troubleshooting: 
 ----------workspace: apparently limited only by resources on system
                        no re-allocation necessary (?)
 -----add-on modules: finmetrics, spatial, wavelets -- link example:
                        > module(spatial)
