[Tutor] Add metadata to a dir of files.

[Mark Bystry]

Ok, Tim. I believe you're right. If the vbscript is working then I'll continue to use it and expand 
on it. I'll only be using this on my WinXP box anyway. I just didn't want to offend anyone in this 
mailing list with vbscript code. I'm really trying to learn some python basics but I'm no programmer.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Mark.
