I am looking over, and commenting on ;-), your code now.
It looks pretty good.  Right now I am trying to hack up a better dice 
saving input checker than you had.  When I finish, I will post it on 
my site(see below) for further editing by others if that is alright with 
you.  Or I can send it to you, and you can post in on your site.
