Re: statistics, etc.

I'm new to Gnumeric and to this list myself.  I only have an answer to your last question.  Yes, you can "freeze" the top row using View -> Freeze Panes.  Make your selection first (select everything except the first row) and then choose "Freeze Panes."  It seemed to work for me.  The online help explains better than I can.

Thanks,

Mark Taber
