Thanks everyone. I've already gone the external-app-in-frame approach, and as the "look" of Soundings is fairly... umm... let's just say I don't like it... I've ended up putting the menu items that I do want directly in the FarCry sidebar and stripping out the display of them in the frame (as well as ripping out all the layout tables and fixing the css). So my updating options have been shot to hell anyway. It does what I want already though so I'm not too worried.
Next up: integrating Pollster! Stand by for NEW idiotic questions!
