Give me some examples. I may have an idea, if you are very committed to data mining, and don't mind learning another program.

Is that right?

If so, who determines which data shows up when you press this button? Do you want to define this yourself, manually?

Define one or two specific "hot buttons" for me, i.e. tell me what kind of specific data you would want to pop up.

Do you mind putting the information in your Appendix A yourself, or does the computer have to do this for you?
