Daveed,
  I certainly wish such a product could be possible but I seriously
don't believe it could be that simple.  If every program had a consistant
interface then I would not be as negative but in todays computer software,
everybody does there own thing.

Even still, you can bet I will be keeping a watchfull eye on this.

Regards,
  Doug
