Thanks Kurt, I appreciate it, and I sent you an email -- I had a spam thing in my address, but you should be able to reply to my note. Here's the text of the email here, just in case: .....<snip> Give the monkey setting a try: it should be a pushover. I can indeed get the settings to work using the file at the bottom of this note, but trying the dynamic settings don't seem to work (textfile and/or "extras").
