+to do it "right", as in, have the staffsheet know about *time*.  that
+wouldn't be trivial.  that's my long-term project, where you layout the
+staff sheet with an html interface, and it knows what time each signup box
+is.
+
+however, if you could, say, add a field to each { inputbox } which is just
+what you wanted to print out on the slip... that i could do without a lot
+of work.
+
+so right now, inputbox'es look like:
+
+  { inputbox("shift_name"); }
+
+and instead, they would look like:
+
+  { inputbox("shift_name", "shift time etc. to print on slip" ); }   
+
+and i could print slips with people's names/emails, the extra stuff above
+and something standard that goes on each slip...
+
+how's that work for you?
+

+
+the quick kludge answer: you could grep the data directory?  the filenames
+correspond to the inputbox tags you define, so...
+
+something else...?
