Thanx Max, I don't know if I'm parrotting someone's marketing slogan, but
having taken the plunge, IT JUST FEELS RIGHT.
Thanks also for your CM_CHILDKEY pointers, another of those things that I
didn't even know existed yet is likely to provide exactly what I need.
And now going WAY offtopic, I'm a Pascal boy from way back yet from
time-to-time have been forced to write in C. With the standard C runtime
library, it is easy to create a file, read a file or write to it, but to
delete it would you have thought of "unlink" as as function name? Do
newbies even stand a chance?
