I'm sorry, I missed the point where you asked me to do it in a separate 
console.  I was getting a little frustrated about (what seemed to me) 
was requests to use plugins, when I wanted a different tack.  I now see 
you didn't mean that, you just wanted to have me check the bare 
functionality.

I'm wrong in how I responded, and I apologize.  Darn it, I should have 
read it twice first.
