Dear Scott,

Many thanks, I feel a bit silly that I didn't think of your nice elegant 
solution.  I guess I thought there must have been a 'drag window' style 
command and blinkered other options.  I've been away from Rev for a few 
months so I'm a tad rusty again (well that's my story!).

Thanks again!

Matt Denton
