Thanks for the rapid reply! Unfortunately adding the $se returns NULL, 
and repeats the same warning message ("...not yet implemented"). If 
you're not experiencing the issue, is it possible for me to replace the 
relevant code/source file with what you have (or would that require 
recompiling)? Could this be an OS issue? I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.2.

By the way, I "replied all" on this message, but let me know if that is 
not the preferred convention. Cheers,

Jon
