Thank you Saq.
I had just discovered how to do it globally by looking at upgrade.html but
was still banging my head as to how to do it locally. Your solution of
transcluding into the macro/variable an editable tiddler would work great.
I agree wrt your recommendations. It would make things much cleaner and
easier to have the import Title List available and have some way of
triggering actions but I managed to kludge something together for my needs
with everyone's help.
Much appreciation.
