THat would be nice.  I do this now with multipage forms, where they
might enter a quantity on one page, and the next page produces that
number of fields to be filled in.  But having them on one page would be
nice.

I supposed this could be done with JavaScript and Dynamic HTML, but having
it as a built in function would make life easier.
