thanks, i do remember Jeanne's plugins plug, and
have examined Development/Plugins. "plugins" is
not a listing in the Dictionary, and i have no
idea what a plugin is!

putting the startup script into an openStack
handler in a card script or something like that
was explained, but i couldn't get it to work.

probably best to wait for 2.0 on this one.

thanks again.
