I've already exceeded my normal level of programming with the custom wps in
general. hehe. That is a bit beyond me.

No, i'm referring to the actual string of tags. I think it would be hard to hit
64 characters per line though.

I don't really trust what the simulator displays... Just a general rule for me
:-) If i actually figured it out, and somehow the sim didn't pick it up
