Wow, cool. It certainly works for me. The argument thing was my
*original* plan until I looked at the fact that it was being used for
something else. It just adds to the beauty of the fact that, wherever
you are, you hit one key to enter a task and it does what you expect it
to do.

Cool! Thanks. God I love this project, <grin>. The more ideas we all
come up with, the more features we  get, and quickly too. I've actually
come up with a couple more ideas which I'll mention in another
message. <ducks for cover> You can hit me with a virtual mallet if it'll
make you feel better, <grin>.
