I really need to look into more of the scripting host stuff. Right now, we try to avoid anything that's non-standard on any of the OS's 'cause it's just too much of a PITA to deal with for our Tech Support people. "Keep It Simple Stupid" works wonders when you've got the diversity of sytems our app is installed on.

Maybe someday most all of the really neat stuff will be standard! < yeah, right > ;)
