There is not much more one can comment at until you come up with the first version of your script.

Of course...I guess what I'm asking is if I am headed totally the wrong way, going down a dead-end path, shoulda done X or Y...that kind of thing. Or, aside from modules, there's a better way to look at doing it

A coding style helps you to envision the code flow and also helps with tracking down simple one-off errors (I.e. a bracket to much, not enough brackets, ...).

Thanks for that - it's something I know I need to do, and this gives me some more good pointers on how to get there...thanks
