John,

If I didn't make it clear in my earlier post, I'll try to make it clear now.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO WHAT YOU ARE ASKING ME TO DO!

(to the rest of you, I'm sorry about the shouting, but I felt the need to
respond in a way that John seems to understand).

Won't you please help us figure it out?  You seem to have some good ideas.
Why don't you share them in some specific way so that we can get a clue?

Thanks,

Carl
