Thanks Ken.

I think we had two mistakes in our script - first, the local hadn't been 
declared, and second we didn't include the "get" in "get matchText", 
mostly due to the reg-ex matchText example in the dictionary not using 
it either. Oh well, I'm sure this should work as expected now...

Regarding the metacard XML tool, we didn't get involved in ANY "card 
languages" until Revolution (with the possible exception of a brief 
glance at ToolBook 1.0, many years ago.) So, we'll likely wait for the 
parsing tool to be integrated into Rev. I'm looking forward to this - 
because Perl we know!

Thanks again - I think we are set straight back on the path now.
