Thank you for speaking so gently! :)

HAHAHA! That's what I'm doing! I forgot that! Honestly, I did that, because I
couldn't figure out how to code "just auto log into console 1 ONLY". :)

Would you mind explaining how bad of a decision this is? Is this a BAD security practice?

I'll tell you what, why don't we leave this "bug" open for a week...I'll try to write
the code that does what I want, and I'll email the answer.

Then I'll edit the manual to provide an example!

Thanks Leo (You sir, are a superstar!),

Joshua
