Please find attached a version of your script that I've happily hacked 
on for several hours - I hope you like the error checking I've added. I 
learned loads going through your code, and I thank both you and Mr 
Becker for sharing your work. I'll happily be installing this on my 
mother's boko in the next few days. I've cc'd in Mr Becker in case he 
has any comments.
