Sorry Lylo, only just saw your question.
I don't think we'll put FWH into the new calculator just yet. One reason for this is that the BIABacus aims at being very solid in the most important areas and simple to use and FWH poses a few 'educational' problems.
For example, there is some controversy on what utilisation FWH should be given. Regardless of this, it is generally not recommended that you adjust your recipe for FWH. In other words, you should simply move the appropriate part of your last additions forward rather than adjust their actual weight.
It is also very hard to add things like this given the limitations of a spreadsheet. Eventually we'd like to see the new calculator written as a stand alone program. Things like FWH will be much easier to incorporate into that.
Cheers

As far as I can see, the real problem is what effect FWH is supposed to have.
I'm of the opinion that FWH is just a hop addition with time=boil time
