Ah! Interesting... I admit that the weakest part of my programming
prowess is string manipulation and memory management. *sigh* Need to find
a tutorial labelled "How to program with strings and not waste memory
doing it." :)
I just might work up a patch vs. bpl12 w/Oasis 1.6a that will add in that
extra functionality. That will give me something to do to put off
learning PERL for a form here at work. *grin* (Isn't procrastination great?)
