Your absolutely right. I was actaully more interested in having the home circuit, as you suggest, 'do nothing', but in the process became interested in not only having the home circuit's layout replaced, but learing how to use it, if the situation ever presented itself. I think I am clear now, but I do apprerciate yout thoughts.
I will admit, FB has helped me to- as you point out- have the implementation structure match the conceptual structure. For me this hasn't always been the case...
