I will try to take a look at this a little later (unless others respond with whatever my suggestions would be).

But please note that it would be most helpful if you would use code tags so that we don't have to slog through you're code embedded in normal text (trying to do so is both really annoying and prone to error on the readers' part). Look in the "Tutorials" section of this site to see how to properly format code for the Monestary to look at.

You sound like you have an interesting (at least to me) challenge to tackle and I am anxious to dig into it. I know that we have many esteemed Monks in the Monestary that can assist...most much better and more qualified that I. I hate to see you miss out on the help just because of some formatting faus pax.

Good luck.
