Hey Tony,
Thanks for your reply! I wanted to avoid someone having to type the
uniqueID at all. In my design above, you would just type the current title
and if you include the # before it, its uniqueID is placed instead of the
title. However, Im open to all ideas. How you envision <<idl as it relates
to Mario's unilink?
