At the moment I'm not able to run the patch on my sytem, since the
executable
which Mark has sent me has got some references to Python21.dll (I run 2.2).
But it is a good approach wich makes a flexible tool even more flexible :-)

It would be nice, if Mark could contribute this to the project. I'm not that
deep in C to modify the files myself ...

Console-less only would be OK.

I absolutely understand this!
But if you are hit someday by the urgent need to write 1.000 lines in Python
(like I do sometimes), it would be nice to see this feature ;-)
