Thanks, Chris, for the info. (Also to Michelle, John, and anyone else
that's chipped in.)
Actually, from some of the other posts it looks like the structure does
vary between AS versions... which would nix any attempt to write something
that would work in more than a few versions of AS. I think I'm starting to
cool on the idea already. Shame. Although John B's OSAX suggestion sounds
an opportunity for some enterprising third party. (I'd struggle to get even
a "hello world" out of a 'real' programming language so it certainly won't
be me.:)
