I appreciate everyone's responses to this post, but I must admittedly state
that this was a Draft message that I was adding to as I was plodding along
and attempting to formulate a plan to attack the Keymapper task.

So this message is woefully old and completely incomplete (heh).  I am
currently still working with the forums atm, and hope to have a little more
personal time to complete it.  Until then, I have to keep the Keymapper
task a pipe-dream.  =)  Though the clarifications from all of you haven't
fallen on deaf ears, I will take the information forward and run with it in
the future when I pick up Keymapper again.

Thanks!
