Without ambition, why get up in the morning? I am running myself into a

Oh sure, keep it simple. If you were to have one function of a thousand
lines or so, then something has probably gone wrong. But we can eat an
elephant one bite at a time.
I'll take a look at your code in the other thread and post back later.
