My, you are an optimistic fellow! OK, that's an idea, but I'll wait and do a little more browsing on the subject. All the threads I'm finding in Google start off with this feature NOT working. I think I'd do better to create some sort of personal overlay - over which I know little about - and try to get the files I need in there, as there is no guarantee that anything new supports this requirement. Of course, if I had a job and earned money then I could solve the problem that way, but I'm out of work, broke and cannot even think about going down that path.
