Backasswards was I again. I was thinking of loading the main from my
calling program.

I will try that. The only thing I would have to pass on the command line
then is which module I want to import for the site I want to access.

Okay. Now I must figure out how to create the module and have my calling
script look in the right place.... ;)

Thanks.
