I had the first one, little different for my rig, but I added the second
one just now.  I'll be testing this tomorrow or Sunday, depending on
packages, maybe both.  lol 

Sometimes I wish they would announce when they add features.  Rich, you
frequent this list.  If you hear of something new, could you post it? 
This may not be NEW but it is new to me.  No idea when it got added.
