Calculation and Display of Running Totals
=========================================

The next three commands work together and are used for the calculation and display of running totals.

| **\\st**
| **\\starttotal**
|    This and the two following commands are used together to calculate running totals.  The *\\st* command should be placed before the first variable that is to be included in the running total.
   
   
| **\\et**
| **\\endtotal**
|    This command should be placed after the last variable that is to be included in the running total.


| **\\pt <series title text>**
| **\\printtotal <series title text>**
|    To print the total in the table, issue the *\\pt* command.  The <series title text> is whatever text you want to appear to the left of the data series, such as "Total for All Industries".
