Fabulous! Thanks for the link. I'll have to read it in detail soon, and
try things out. Fortunately I don't have any non-source-code API docs I'm
maintaining at the moment, but there is potential with one of my current
clients, so I'll look into it.

I sure appreciate you sharing the knowledge :-),
