Re: Add a value to a multi-entry parameter

["T. Adair" <tadair@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all who responded.

Chuck, adding a 'plus' in front the parameter was the first thing I 
tried.  I was hoping...  There's probably not enough interest for an RFE 
- kind of a seldom-needed feature.  And as you pointed out, there are 
ways around it.

Bryan, I would love to have TAATOOLS on all our boxes, but we have 16 
and there's no way that management would swallow that pill.

Thanks again to all.
