Calculating Total Misses

[David McFarlane]

Missing a small step here, as you cannot directly use a variable as 
an attribute reference in your feedback display.  So just before your 
feedback display add a bit more inline script like

c.SetAttrib "misses", misses

(Note that variables and context attributes may have the same name.)

See the Context topic in the online E-Basic Help for more details.
