Elmo, it's probably neither cocky nor funny, but before you pass judgment you should Google this group for "time machine" and read awhile. (I was merely attempting to parrot a traditional response that is given around here when someone asks for something which is already present in the language.) And whether I misinterpreted the (ambiguous) question or not, my response provides the required information to put together a solution to the OP's question. It would just require one extra level of indirection, so to speak, to do what Robert suggests he might have wanted.
