TGI,

Thanks so much for your understanding of my problem and your help. I've taken a look at this, and I think that it is something I can handle with my knowledge of Perl. I just needed a place to get started without re-inventing the wheel.

These kids are a bit older, so Scratch won't help.

Funnily enough, I happen to be dating a woman fluent in Spanish, and she has agreed to help. She is not computer literate, which is ideal in this case.

When I have something decent, I will report back.
