Thanks, Mark.

I think you're right - dispatch deserves mention there.  I haven't 
played with it much yet, but I can see that it's very useful and will be 
using it to replace my slower custom dispatcher soon.  Once I get some 
time to play with it I'll add a note there about it.  Thanks for 
reminding me about dispatch.

That's the problem with v3.5:  there's too much cool new stuff to keep 
in one's head. :)
