Thanks.  You just solved my primary problem of needing to take the time 
to actually research all the steps and in what order I needed to do them, 
for a hand-rolled script. =:^)

Unfortunately, while I've been laid-up the last ~5 days due to a twisted 
knee and have been spending more time on the lists, etc, and would have 
loved to spend a day or so testing and setting this up, I'm back to work 
tomorrow, so I've no idea when I'll actually get to play with this.

But meanwhile, I'm saving your message for reference when the time 
comes.  It should be /very/ useful!  =:^)
