Historically, the way to get something like this to happen is to design and code the modification that does it. That has the advantage that you have to bite the bullet and instead of just describing the general idea, decide on a concrete implementation. That sounds obvious, but there is a long history of ideas in software that *sound good* but for which there is no implementation that sucks less than the problem the idea seeks to solve. Dale
