>I feel for you and your fellow department members. By simply removing the WSH they've deprived you of a tool that could be used to make your job easier, and you and your users more productive. I really sympathize.

Thanks George - I sent a whiny email to the Security people, and at least got a sympathetic reply from one member who also does coding, and likes WSH. He said he hopes to get it back someday, if they can beef up security somehow, and I should regard the WSH termination as "maybe temporary." That sounds a little better, anyway.
