What's the movie (Night Shift I think) that was Michael Keaton's first
movie, where he plays the night shift person at a morgue, and his idea is
to run a call-girl service from it.  Also stars Shelley Long (from
"Cheers") as one of the hookers, and Henry Winkler as the straight guy who
runs the finances of the operation.

Anyways, Henry Winkler uses Visicalc on a /// to keep track of the money. 
I remember this very clearly, because I had a /// at the time, and was
stunned to see one in a movie.
