Thanks Suvayu Ali, John Kitchin, Marvin Doyley and Alan Schmitt for your 
suggestions, which I will try out.  I may not have time to implement a 
complete solution for the upcoming exam (Wednesday morning), so I will 
wait until the new year.  In the meantime, may I ask John if he is 
willing to share an example file as a starting point?  I read through 
the blog but my experience with org is too short for me to see how it 
all works.

Thanks again,
Roger
