Interesting question. This macro, likely, and the directory file  
stuff I posted a few weeks ago are both arguably a little higher  
level than TBNL. On the other hand, these (certainly the directory  
serving stuff) are not really useful outside of TBNL. Maybe a  
contributions directory? If this stuff isn't kept with TBNL I don't  
know how anyone is going to find it.

Cheers,
Bob
