heh.  it's actually to make me look a little better.  i'm trying to average
my grades, but a lot of people simply don't turn stuff in, so the class
average turns out to be 1.4/4, and it makes me look like a horrible, evil

i assumed i had to write a script to do this.  i'll check out the canned
features.  a trip to the star office help pages.  oh, happy days are here
again.  if that doesn't pan out, i'll try the 2nd column idea.
