Hi David, Thanks for your reaction. You write "So blanking entries is done by entering _ instead of a number." I'm not sure I fully understand this. I have tried to get a number, for instance #3 on the second row by entering < _ 3+ >, but that didn't change anything; the #3 stayed on the top line.
I used the method just given by Malte Meyn.
