Jerry,

Bill came up with a script that does this fairly well and is saving me 
a fair amount of time so that i don't have to go though and renumber 
them all by hand over and over. The quote levels in this note are all 
messed up here so if the text does not go with your post my apologies.

Thanks Bill!
