Hi Steve,

You know, now that you mention it that makes perfect sense.

Although, keep in mind we're talking about MS machines here -- these 
machines will need to be capable of emitting a shower of sparks and 
smoke virtually non-stop.
Hmm.  Actually, I think it might be fun to construct a spring-loaded 
BANG! type flag, triggered every time Dr. Watson or the current 
equivalent is executed.
take care,

C
