Hi Steve, Right now I'm devoting any free Isis time I have to working towards a 1.9.0 release, so I haven't got any real time to help on this at the moment. But I just wanted to reply to at least acknowledge that I appreciate you're giving it a go. If you are still struggling once I have 1.9.0 out the door, and lend a hand.
