 Roger that.  Got some helpful code from [I believe it was, please shoot me if
I'm wrong] Nightfox that I implemented with little change.  :)
 Now I just need to go back and rewrite some of my modularized code a bit so
that I can re-use the existing routines and not my bastardized reinvention of
the wheel I already wrote with the other message bases, since everything is
pretty much the same in the interface I'm writing...
