Hi Shlomi, Thanks for that pointer. I read your linked pages and it doesn't seem that there is yet a solution as simple as the 'edit_file' method. Shame as it was so handy, but the arguments against it are quite compelling.
@Frank - looks like the original scripting with printing to file handles is the immediate future.
