That's fantastic already.  Thank you. :-)

Right, I remember that.  I told that I'd try to get the feature in the
next release, but I didn't unfortunately, as my other projects sucked my
time.  I'm now back to Smart for some maintenance and improvements, and
I have a few items of higher priority right now.  More specifically, I

that I'll try to get to your request.  Shouldn't take too long.
