Perfect! I was getting close and that helped me find the last thing I needed. I will post a link to a demonstration of this to this thread within the next few days. It is pretty simple yet some of the Apple Source Code examples fudge this the same way I was (Son of Silly Balls, for example) so I think that a simple example might be useful to some people who are in the same boat that I was.
Thank you very much,
Jeff.
