:-)  Actually, I assumed you already had RTFM, and my comment above 
was really meant to be "best option by far (assuming you've read the 
docs) ...."  I didn't bother checking the manual to see if it said
the same.

Still helpful sometimes to read the source.  Never know when you'll pick
up a useful turn of phrase or two.
