That's the ticket! So make use with what Palm has with string functionality
and dont worry about sscanf. I can make do with that if everyone else is
going through with that. Frankly though, it kind of stinks that there is
not a nice equivalent for sscanf. But all is good.
And thank you for the path. Would have likely never gotten that alone.
