Dennis,

I wanted to respond that prepending a string to an existing argument sounds
quite a bit easier than what you are describing, but than I realized that I
just flatout assumed that the origional "args" would be a string too ..
Thanks for the links. And yes, thats one of the six related pages I've
saved. I blame me being focussed on calling another method, (pretty-much)
ignoring the arguments til after I found it (arguments without being able to
call would have had a zero value to me). Looking back I can now see their
value.

I for my part still think that my "lets dig into it" has been worthwhile to
me - much more than just grabbing another extension. I've learned a few
things along the way, which is really all that matters to me.

Absolutily. But instead of requiring the (noobie) user to provide those I
tend to make that optional by using defaults.

Yep, thats one way to solve the problem. :-)
