Scripting what should be a simple loop...

[David C.]

Well, I guess that problem kind of opened up a can of worms... to
which this reply is pointed to *all* who contributed.
Thank you so much for the help! It's really appreciated.

Let me digest some of the replies and I'll be back a bit later with a
question or two. That should help clarify some things, so that I'll
fully understand.

You folks are great!

Best regards,
David C.
