Eric, I'm glad you took on the job of getting the Japanese stuff and the other less obvious (to me at least) stuff working, building on my original script. My original was quick and dirty, covered MY needs adequately and probably those of 9 out of 10 users, but you have made the script much more universally useful. Thanks!
