Yeah - been playing around and I think I'll stick to my "self generated"
sig for the moment until I get something better happening...AS IF I
really have time to muck around with learning yet another script command
set...(g) - besides, been using the same "script generator" for 5
years...

Not really "less than ideal" - hey, it works, right?

        There once was this swami who lived above a delicatessan.  Seems one
day he decided to stop in downstairs for some fresh liver.  Well, the owner
of the deli was a bit of a cheap-skate, and decided to pick up a little extra
change at his customer's expense.  Turning quietly to the counterman, he
whispered, "Weigh down upon the swami's liver!"
