Yea, Scott... I'm looking forward to installing the Perl thing anyway for
your Winamp Playlist stuff.  I need a few days to finish up some other
stuff, then I'll be looking to start on the directory monitoring.  If you
don't mind, I'll email you directly at that point and get the perl script...
It looks like I gotta get into this Perl stuff - seems kinda powerful for
what we need to do.

Thanks!

  if you're willing to install a perl interpreter and an extra library (not
too difficult to do...) i can give you a script that'll monitor a directory
and tell you when an update (or a new file) is made in the directory.
windows has a thing called a "change notification" that you can set to watch
a directory... unfortunately, it'll only tell you that it saw a change and
won't give you any info about the change...

  of course, this is an external program... you'd have to get the info back
into ECS...
