I’m all for that. However, before XMas, as far as I remember, jnthn has been busy removing throws-like for dies-ok, because the throws-like were too specific. The reason for this change was really never clear to me, and/or my memory of those tension-filled days is too hazy. What I’m saying is, before going on with this, check with jnthn / TimToady. Liz
