Paul,

   That's what I was thinking would be the approach. What I don't now know is
if the time to write and debug the script would exceed the time to enter all
the new data one at a time. :-)

   However, ... since the application's written in python a look at the
source code will certainly give me some useful ideas.

Thanks,

Rich
