It actually worked!  Thank you so much for the example.  I'll probably
rewrite my module a bit to work more like your example above actually,
but it even worked in the context of my module.  Wow, this really saved

Yeah, I was thinking of that actually, but didn't realize it as a
possibility until I'd written a lot of code...guess I should rethink

Thank you Hans,
