Sweet! Thanks for the info. I'd just set up a testing environ using the old way, which was more difficult, last week. (Finally fleshing out some stuff I'd never needed before.)
Looks like I could switch to the SOAP method pretty easy, changing just one function (internally), so I may try that, to make things easier later on. Guess I should go check out what's new every year or so, neh? Cool. I like this better, I think. Thanks for the info Josh!
