Thank you. This too is a very helpful way to acquire the info.
It's noteworthy (I think...) that the event info is an html dependent
functionality, instead of being directly accessable through vbscript and
Windows. (I hope what I just said so confidently isn't
stupid/ignorant/wrong, and the product of ignorance, i.e., the fact that I
have never coded any script to use an event object. Apparently, now's the
time to learn...

It is so much fun to feel one's abilities blossom through the collaborative
help you guys provide in these newsgroups! Today, I'm going to start trying
to make a habit of trying to do a small part of what you guys do, i.e., by
posting answers to the ocassional really simple questions I can answer, to
help others who know less than I.

thanks again. marc
