Thanks:

You've given me a handful of ideas, all of which I need to educate myself on. They sound like Greek to me right now which is the way of each new job. I'll charge into it today (day off) and see if I can make some progress.

Note that 2 of my 5 daily drivers have the simpler design (TD and converted 240D). I don't look forward to this one.
