One idiea that I've had that haven't followed up on is to have an imbedded
text file. Then just read the text file when needed. I know there's a way.
Also if it comes down to it you could right a very basic program that auto
wrote all those "x += " for you. Just two textboxes. Probably not what
you're wanting though.
