that's a clever way to do it, and cheap!

I just tried this parameter thing and had the same trouble. I guess we'll
look at it and see if the software can read it better for a future version.
Its something we never really tested, since it wasn't part of the

useful for somebody, and let it go.... I'll ket you know what we figure 
out.
