You'll notice the date on the script is from last year. There are some things I do now that I didn't do then, such as initializing the locally scoped variables ("my") where they are used instead of way up at the top. Most of the suggestions I see in your note and others I just wouldn't have thought of yet though. So, thanks to all for the ton of good suggestions. I'm not sure how many I'll have time to implement before my deadline, but this is a great help for improving my skill level.
