Tony, thanks! I did just post about it earlier this evening, with a link to
my site <http://ethicsatwes.tiddlyspot.com/#units>.
I'll look into currentTab... It sounds like I should rewrite my templates,
but I'm still just barely treading water with my upgrade process. I'm still
very far from getting up to speed with TW5 widgets and macros, and have
been cobbling together solutions found on others' pages, with minor
patches...
