Thanks Hraban,
I like the magic button better. :-)
There is a nagging thought at the back of my brain suggesting to me that a
20-line shell script could do the transmogrification.
Anyway, knowing that the wiki software will prepare the form is the key

I guess this could be added to the wiki help page. Two more things for my
To-Do list.
