Hi Gilles: Thanks for that reminder. I think it should be pretty straightforward to implement this so I plan to do that during this release cycle. However, that may still be a few months from now because it is a relatively long release cycle, and I have some other matters on my plate that take precedence. Thus, if anyone here (including you) wants to implement it first, that would be great. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
