Thank you so much Mike and Chris :-)
This works beautifully. Why didn't I just test it out myself? Maybe I did not 
have the confidence to trust my "winging it" ;-) Though I am pleased my 
"winging" was right on the money. Some day I hope I can return the favor. I 
have done some pretty neat things with IC (mostly using [perl] blocks). Some 
day I wil finally wrap my head around the more elegant template syntax and 
then look out :-)

Again thanks...Jay
