Wow, thanks a lot to both of you for the quick replies.  

Eric, your suggestion is simple, works great, and requires very little 
tweaking ability on my part.  Just what I was looking for.

Tobias, you've just blown my mind by suggesting I add new fields.  I didn't 
even know I could do that!  I'm totally game for changing methods, but I'm 
not a programmer; I mostly use software just as it comes out of the box. 
 But I've just read through  
http://tiddlywikiguides.org/index.php?title=Getting_started_with_custom_tiddler_fields
 and 
I would like to try my hand at making this work on my own first before I 
take you up on your very generous offer.  The ForEachTiddler plugin seems 
like it might be key...


Thanks again guys!
Brandon
