Thanks. You just solved my primary problem of needing to take the time to actually research all the steps and in what order I needed to do them, for a hand-rolled script. =:^) Unfortunately, while I've been laid-up the last ~5 days due to a twisted knee and have been spending more time on the lists, etc, and would have loved to spend a day or so testing and setting this up, I'm back to work tomorrow, so I've no idea when I'll actually get to play with this. But meanwhile, I'm saving your message for reference when the time comes. It should be /very/ useful! =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
