Awesome, I had a feeling that was a possible slowdown, just hadn't gotten 
around to testing it.   It was distracting how it seemed to get slower and 
slower each time I ran it, got a little frustrating but I continued beefing 
up error handling and practicing better var naming --btw i'm so nitpicky 
about naming!!  Hypothetically, if I do have a heavy data container that is 
more useful in a script, what do I use to decrease memory overhead?  del() 
for example?  Thanks for responding, I will make those changes which should 
work great and repost just in case someone wants it.
