Nick,

Thank you for your response. I will file that feature request on Bugzilla. 
Please let me know if there is any way I can help. I am not the greatest 
programmer, like I've said before, but, I am a very thorough troubleshooter 
because it's part of my job. I can scan through code and follow the logic, but 
to write something from scratch is difficult for me. I would be willing to run 
test builds and so forth to test new features. I am still very much a linux 
noob (running linux for about a year now), so please excuse me if I ask dumb 
questions.

Shawn
