Could one of the gurus please give me an example of how to use the contents of the item field to drive other fields?  What I want to do is setup some keywords which I'll use on the fly in meetings etc.  I see the examples show something like do X*Y when a field is added, but the below are the 'real life' things I need to setup.
 
I'll be happy to add this to the docs if someone can attempt an example!
 
eg:
 
Basic
FU: Bob regarding cat
--> This should set a followup flag to true.
 
Funky
FU:7 Bob regarding cat
--> Set followup flag to true
--> Set priority field to '7'
--> BONUS POINTS: Get rid of the '7' once it's been used to set the priority
 
Get me a scotch
FU:7 DD:6 Bob regarding cat
--> As per funky
--> Set due date 6 days from now
 
The first one could be done by setting up a grid with a basic filter.  The rest may require VBscript as they must see whether it contains the keyword, then parse out the argument and set a field accordingly.
 
Thanks guys

This should not be too difficult. I'll think about it tomorrow...
