Thanks so much for the response, Lyle.  Yes, that's exactly the widget
I was seeking.  I've been trying to learn my way around through the
widget set, but I'd not noticed that one.  It's not an emergency for
me, and I'm pleased to await the update release.

BTW, your book is *really* nicely done.  I'm incredibly pleased with
my purchase of it.  Thanks for the incredibly nice work you're letting
me take advantage of.

Cheers,
--Bob
