No, I'm not insistent! 'H' and 'L' work fine.

It was just a way where the user could enter new dice formulas that
would become part of the list of available dice formulas. If there's a
better way, let me know.

The key is, if there's a new dice formula in EditText1, use it AND copy
it to list_Dice. If it's not new, and there's a selected item in list_Dice,
use the selected item as the dice formula.
