Yup, elegant and with a minimum of code. That's what I'm looking for.
As I stated to Pete a few minutes ago, the code is already so b0rked
from having several different programmers tinker with it (and none of
them all that hot--myself included) that if I can do this with as
little modification as possible, I'll be really happy. This looks to be
the solution I need.

Thanks, James.
