<< That sounds like a good idea to me. However, I'm not nearly competent enough around external function calls to create what you're describing. >> George, I've been BS'd before, but this may be the best! <G!!!> You may not be familier enough, yet, but you're sure more than competent enough. If you can use a statement like x = function(a, b, c) in basic, you've got all the competence you need to use the api calls. That's literally all they are. Plug in some variables and get back a return value. Tell you what I'd be glad to do. You outline the generic install routine you'd like to have. I'll indicate where, why and which API calls I'd use in it as needed, but you get to code them. After the 3rd one, you'll be saying, "Hey, this is NEAT!" –dennis There is 1 Reply.
