I hope Allen doesn't mind, but I wanted to publicly thank him for coming to my rescue with a script that, after a little debugging, works perfectly for my needs as outlined below.
I know he said it isn't ready for prime time, but it fits the bill nicely for me and I am grateful to him for his efforts and assistance. Since I don't know if he plans to release the script publicly yes (if at all), please don't harass him for it :) My guess is that although the script is now invaluable to me and the type of work I often do, the "average user" won't have much need for it. Thanks again, Allen. You rock :) Laurie A.
