The online documentation has nothing on templates; I'll have to find my
manual. Is a template just a workbook which is pre-formatted and
scripted for a specific application? The Mesa 2 installation includes
two snazzy-looking Templates (Expense.M2T, Invoice.M2T).

I don't own either one. I have Clearlook but never could get its
formatting to work decently.
