That is one way that I considered as well, however it is very
much just a hack. Past experience with "hacks" like this is that
you always miss some path, and it screws up for someone. I'd
rather see it done right for once and for all as it can't be more
than a screenful of code to get it to do it right.
Thanks though for the idea.
Take care,
