Yep, probably.

Please post it on the approporiate abi website, so that google finds it.
One of the harder aspects to bonobo is that there haven't been many
good examples of how to use some of these controls. I've seen a
gnumeric bonobo for years, but have always scratched my head 
"gee, now what? how do I use this thing?"

p.s. speaking of gnumeric, is there a way of doing reports with
gnumeric?  i.e. something similar to our discussion, an abi 
document that reads "You owe us $fieldname dollars" where 
$fieldname refers to some cell in a gnumeric spreadsheet? 
I don't need this for gnucash, but was just curious if ti was
supported and how it worked.
