You may get a bit disappointed: SES is a very primitive spreadsheet, so some of the features you're asking for simply don't exist. And that is why I was attracted to it---firstness, low level abstractions and so on appeal to me. I'm gonna learn how to use it. What tripped me up was the read-only business. Stefan, thank you for trying to answer my question. Bastien's two tutorials on the subject of Org's spreadsheet enabled me to get an expense spreadsheet up and running. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php
