Thanks for the suggestion. I really should have thought of that myself.
But there are so many different aspects to this script that I'm working
on, that sometimes something simple like this, I just want to "get done"
and work on the other "harder" stuff.
Your method is much better. I happen to be working on this script right
now, and will incorporate this change.
Thanks for the suggestion,
