Glad to see you got it all working!

BTW, you can set the minimum version of a tool set to 0 (zero) if you 
don't care what version of the tool set is loaded.

I hope this means that you have re-kindled your desire to start coding 
on the IIgs again, and that we can expect more from you in the near 
future?  :-)

I've never done any GSoft Basic coding, so I might have to give it a 
whirl - then again, maybe I should concentrate on finishing projects 
I've already started. ;-)
