The link to the manual is very helpful, and I had never used the Drafts button despite using Groups for years! ?I know to use it now. I had assumed it would require you to specifically save a draft, but apparently does it automatically. Good tip, thanks.

You enter a thread pitch or TPI and it shows you a range of gear trains and gearbox setting to use and even a scale drawing of the gear train.
It also includes calculations for taper turning by the tailstock offset method, and cutting speeds.
It includes the specifications for many thread types eg metric, UNC, BSW, and BA.
