FISHelp tries to reduce the possibility of accepting input
that may produce impractical or absurd results.

Nonetheless, please, beware of entering illegal and otherwise inappropriate input combinations. Follow the messages and instructions of HELP <Fl> facilities on each of the individual screens. FISHelp issues a sound and an ERROR message whenever your input is out of range or illegal.
