Wow. There were some fantastic responses to this question.  I'm not sure
that I would want to reverse 2 years of work to implement some of them,
but thanks anyway.  I think the xmove answer was the one I want though
(I'm annoyed I didn't find that in the docs), so I'll be trying that
approach first :)  

Thanks again,

Tom
