Russ,
You missed HIS point. He wasn't trying to reduce the amount of time
it took to EFFECTIVELY study. He only wants the ability to specify how many
days AT ONE TIME he spends studying so he could do something like...

study 121 2
give d3e 1 100
move out
give w3q 1 100
study 121 5 # study complete

Capice?!?
