Aw crap... just got a call back from Ron, seems he's got to clear this with 
the Calgary office as there is some litigation involving the Gemstar folks 
that might overlap this feature. He's going to get back to me in the next 
couple of days with the response from headoffice.

Anyways at least we know how to do this now.  I'll report back once I hear 
from Ron again.
