   Sure enough, I understand =) & Richard should hang in this thread,   
   he's offered good ideas - a simple, clear description is needed.   
      
   Bottom line: There's no way anyone can know what this app   
   does in advance of twisting its knobs (even the description   
   he offered for his own app presumes knowledge of 3rd party   
   stuff after all).   
      
   There's more work that needs to be done & speaking only for myself,   
   its hardly ever going to be the case that less info presents   
   a higher resolution picture & yet I press forward still.   
      
   Thanks for your reply James I appreciate you trying to disambiguate.
