Customizing Inference App?

Now I'll work on the INPUT block.

Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, STARTVIEW() uses the built-in function. The thought is that if you wanted the customized function you would simply call Num() and not STARTVIEW().

As for creating a program for input, you probably have to do string manipulation and use EXPR(). For example:

AppName:="Statistics_2Var.C";
ColNum:=1;
Destination:="Xlist";
// the values above you could use an INPUT() command to obtain

EXPR(Destination + ":=" + AppName + ColNum);

EDIT: changed to fit your particular app a bit better. You can modify this to a generic import function that can import to/from any app. Make sure to qualify the destination name, too, to avoid any conflicts in various apps. For example, it's safer to do "Statistics_2Var.C1:=Spreadsheet.A1:A10" than to simply do "C1:=Spreadsheet.A1:A10" as the latter may store the result in cell C1 of the spreadsheet app if you're running from the Spreadsheet app and not the Stat2Var app
