Thanks, Glenn and everyone else who lent a hand, even the mean guy.

I'm bagging this project.  Elisp is just too much for me I guess.  I
thought this would be a couple hours' project.  Instead I've spent the
better part of two days on it.  On the other hand, I recently learned
and wrote a handy app in Tk/Tcl in a couple hours.  And I didn't have to
upgrade anything.  (It seems like eight out of ten times I try to write
something in elisp, I need to upgrade.)

I have to admire those of you who can write stuff in elisp.  I've
learned and wrote tons of code in a lot of different languages.  I guess
I should spend my time where I'm productive.

Thanks again,
