Thanks,

That helps, but does not completely help me understand what values are "valid" 
in the 3rd arg.  I couldn't quite figure it out from the code.  I tried.  I 
looked at the man page, different sections of the source, but it's just not 
making sense.

And, sorry all for always adding the corporate signature.  Have no control over 
it, including no ability to change it or turn it off.  The worst part is it 
always turns my email from plain-text to HTML. :(

3rd arg is the argument to the 2nd arg, for keysort, its the key.  4th
arg is data/payload to be stored and later output.
