*sigh*  I really AM getting old!   ;-)

Hmmm, COWTRA does indeed support that -- though technically the HIPster 
would have to appear and claim WA at the end of the very 1st RPh...since 
that's the first "as soon as possible" option.

I find that simply too hard to swallow though...

You want to send a Q&A to Perry?

It's even worse than that, by pure COWTRA...   :-o
