Thanks, I'll give it a try.

That hadn't occurred to me! (I was using A, B, C, ... as
variable names because those are the letters identifying
columns in the spreadsheet I imported the data from).
But you're surely right: the user should not need to
bear in mind a lot of reserved symbols which he should
not use as variable names. Looking forward to the next
release!
