Yeah, and that's what I ended up doing.  I hate that answer, though.  The
answer is, "Yes, this can be automated by software, but no one's done it, s=
o
do it manually." Alas, if only my programming skills were better, I would
provide the solution, but they are not.

For those seeking the answer to this same question, I'm going to officially
"for the record" declare that this element has not been programmed on NetBS=
D
mac68k.  Any programmers feeling lucky?

Thanks for the help.
