spring function ?

Nice one Carl, though I prefer the Spring op!

Does anyone know of any other "Hidden" oporators we should know about,
without sifting through the million-and-one customisable menu items?

If there are more like this one I feel I have been missing out!

Cheers guys and girls


Jamie
