Ah. Thanks so much. My curiosity has been satisfied. I figured the answer was out there somewhere, but I was too lazy too look for it. (Actually, about 30 seconds ago I realized that there's a search engine, and it would have been ridiculously easy to find. oops. don't I feel foolish? - especially since folks have just been talking about the search engine in the recent thread. . .)Well, either way, I've now found out, and it was pretty darn easy to do this way. . . :)
