Measure the slope of a line?

Question

Is there any way, in plain vanilla MicroStation, to measure the slope of a line? Assuming 2D, basic XY coordinates, no exaggeration. 
 Thank you

This link has vba functions for calculating the slope and y intercept

 The basic equation is: 
 SlopeOfLine2D = (pt2Y - pt1Y) / (pt2X - pt1X) 
 
 Mary, I have confidence in your VBA programming skills that you can make this work.

found this bas file from Noah Gordon in the ng archives you gotta love google for this kind of search the forum search missed it completley.. 
 works in V8i great and also 3d just measure no labelling.. just what you asked for ... sent you copy off line no thought it best to share it with everyone so it comes out of the archives for a while and hopefully some one can modify it in vba to have some other options beside percent and some gui menu...
