John, Thanks. Kinda thought that was the answer.
By copying the bug people on a note to Hugo I assume I have done as you suggest to get the factor score request into the queue for consideration. Hugo mentioned a posted wish list. Address? I did check the developer wiki and I see that my earlier issues with the O/P should be relieved within the new O/P goals. Just got your email re LO option. Cool! Could be a great work-around until . . . FYI your comment to John Deal re the wikis on the homepage, the user wiki link seems broken. If relevant, I use Chrome 29.0 on OS10.8.4.

If it is important to you, then feel free to raise it as a wishlist bug.
