Yeah, sometimes the old ways work best <smile>.  Heck, most of my early
debugging in WebSphere was printing to STDOUT.  I kept having flashbacks to
DEBUG PRINT statements...

You already got good advice on this.  But don't worry about forgetting;
sometimes the neural hash algorithm is a little flaky.  Sometimes I can't
remember an API I used two weeks ago, and then sometimes I can remember the
entire 8085 assembly language sequence for converting hex data to ASCII (not
today, though - all I can remember today is that it used the ADC opcode).
