Thanks for the reply. I actually tried that using the Java classes
available at json.org. There is a good tokenizer there as well as a
JSONObject and JSONArray class, but despite my best efforts I was
unable to consistently get a JSONObject or JSONArray from a parameter
list specified in a String function call. The syntax of a JSON string
and a parameter list don't line up exactly
