Chuck, I think the Smart Line libraries will be helpful too, especially if I ever get more organized along the lines of templates and a default file. But what I wanted to point out to you is that for the above example, with the possible exception of the enclosure around "loco", the custom line tool would work quite well and is very flexible. After looking at the smart line dialog box it appears enclosures aren't readily available, so maybe that was the point of touting Bill's product. I just wanted to make sure that you and others here were aware of the custom line tool and what it could do with the above example.
