Jason:

very nice. I did something similar; but i think yours is better. Mine relied
on the $version variable, which seems a little less elegant than your
solution.

i tend to think that less code to do the same work is almost always better,
so you get the prize so far for the best kludge for the DW Dispatcher
Behavior.

has anyone actually *fixed* the MM dispatcher? I bet there are about 500,000
people who will be interested to know (sooner or later) if there is anyone
who has...
