Thanks for the info. I was doing some more diggging and I came across a module/class called POSH which should allow me to do what I want. My question now is, has anyone here used this and if so what it as easy to implement as what I am reading it is? (I have to wait for the sys admin to install the module on that server, but I have made a modified implemted the syntax into a copy of the code to test it as soon as the admin installs it.)
Once again thanks for the information that you all have shared. Jeff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
