   Indeed*, hence my question.   An example of what needs to be done and how   
   would fix.   
      
   * though I'm a hobby programmer, and just/might/ go thru all that trouble   
   just to see if I can actually do it.  You know, like some people like to put   
   a 10.000 piece puzzle together.   
      
   > so my guess is you use your script on many instances of OE.   
      
   Nope.  Just one.   
      
   And what "your script" are you talking about ?

   Reasons:   
      
   1) Knowledge. I like to know how its done.   
      
   2) Interoperability. it won't work well together with my program (which is   
   GUI based)   
      
   3) Having a hobby. I dislike using other peoples (small) programs when I can   
   write them myself (also see #1).
