adding and subtracting

[David McFarlane]

Matt,

This is not an E-Prime question, this is a 
general computer programming question.  So I 
repeat my earlier advice -- sign up for an 
introductory class on computer programming.  If 
you cannot bring yourself to do that, then it is 
time to hire this work out to someone else.
