Rock on! Looks like I'll actully have to reboot under Windows now. Could
at least see the features in Gnumeric, but it's not the real deal.

Two questions/comments (all of which may be completely obvious when
running under Excel):

- - "Query String" is generated or cut-and-pasted?
- - SampleQueries looks very sensible, especially for anyone who's also
worked with OME-Java. Same kind of query building. Perhaps a button to
get a list of all "Types" or all valid names for a given type, etc. (I
assume you used psql or the web to get the values to enter here. This
way it'd be a pure Excel environment. I'm sure you could also get
pop-ups of the available values.)

For anything else I need to be able to click buttons. But still quite neat.
