Smarts alone are not enough.  Smarts + experience seems to be the magic 
combinarion.

After being on the receiving end of a snarky comment from a co-worker, a 
sign appeared over my desk:

	If a cluttered workspace is the sign of a cluttered mind,
	What does an empty workspace signify?

BTW, thanks quanstro and Bruce for the scripting hints.  It was the 'X' 
bit I was missing.  Anyway, I finally solved the problem through the use 
of mouse-2 send and tiny bit of awk (without xml!).  I'm still getting 
used to being able to edit in-place and then 'send'ing.  Now that I've 
switched over to using 9term full time this is quickly becoming my 
natural mode of operation.
