I was a bit nervous about what replies i might get as I'm guessing it's a fairly common question, though the implementation is very idiosyncratic and therefore prob. frustration to try and solve when someone is looking for that "answer" or "key" that will fix it all...

To my surprise both of these answers are very sincere and understanding of what's really behind the software itself, the user, and the user's desire to reign in the chaos with some magic wand. I can use these cogent insights and let me workflow evolve (i mean it has been, just maybe i'm getting impatient to get a system down that covers all bases)...

I'll keep at it, on and off OF, and try to be as zen (for lack of a better word) as these responders have been.

Best,

R
