After learning more about "Clarify", it seems to do
exactly what I was trying to do. Thanks very much
Scott, that was very helpful. I would definitely
recommend this to others looking to present

Others, thanks for your help, and sorry if I provided
inadequate references or did not convey my question
clearly.
Cheers,
Randall
