I'm putting together a GUI to automate the whole module plug-in &
plug-out. I just posted to the BCX group a help question. When I get
the answer I will finish putting it together and upload it with a bunch
of other neat things.
HA! This is all moving forward many times faster than I ever thought it
would!
