    Howdy, Hugh, thanks for the reply.

    It works fine in Excel, but I need this as part of a video procedure
    on my Web site, so it should be something freeware.

    It's a matter of retaining the chapter points in an SVCD when
    converting to another format. The chapter points can be extracted as
    times, but the conversion program wants them as frames. Ergo, I need
    to be able to multiply a column of numbers by either 23.976 or 29.97
    (frame rate of the movie depending) to convert the times to frames. A
    calculator would work, certainly, but it'd be a tad laborious for 20
    or so entries.

    If you could fix that, and let me know how to use the script, it'd be
    appreciated. I honestly don't know anything about Javascripts except
    that occasionally I use a chunk of them in my Web pages, like to
    pre-load dynamic icons. I don't have any idea how to run an
    independent script like this one.

    Thanks for the help,
    Doc
