This is an excellent response that has set me on the path to getting to where I wish to go.

To say that I have many miles to walk down this path is an understatement, but it has put me into a position to where I think I can start walking the path with open eyes and at least a candle to light the way.

Inheritance is the next thing I'm going to have to learn after I finally understand what's going on here. I have made some alterations to my working code that has helped me achieve functionally what I have set out to do, if not completely in spirit. Thank you.
