Kevin,

Thanks this is exactly the information I needed.  As far as the RR scripts
are concerned I just want to take a peek at a few of the scripts.  I am not
in the least interested in making any changes. What is more important to me
is looking at the way you all do your scripting.  I know how to write RR
code after a fashion, what I hope to learn is how to write the tightest most
efficient code. I think there may be a few hints about that in your stacks.

Your prompt reply is very much appreciated.

Steve
