It took me a while to find that I had to press 'Edit' to type anything at all. Having made one entry, I couldn't find any way to add another. According to the instructions, double-clicking on a date should do it, but nothing happened, the first entry was still displayed. I opened the filter box and then it wouldn't close, and after clicking various other things without effect, it hung and wouldn't redraw. I closed it and tried again, the first entry had been saved and could be edited, but it behaved the same and I could add no further entries. I think 'doesn't work at all' is the only realistic description. Certainly completely unusable. -- Joe
