Mike,

This is cool, I had no idea. This (obviously) means I can do this with any app. Thank you SO much.

I'm generally not a hardcore programmer, but geez, I've been on a Mac for close to 20 years, learned HTML, ActionScript (old versions), etc., I should know better. Getting old, I guess ;)

James always encourages us to make thing easier by making global lists, scripts, etc; modular approach. Makes it easier to track issues that way than prod through a mess of scripts all over the place.

Enjoy Italy, always wanted to go there. 

It's all good. Thanks.

Tom
