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!
