Hum, thanks IOhannes. This actually did a couple of things for me...

1. It makes me rethink the idea of externals having more than one
outlet. It makes it a bit clearer what the code does when you have a
single outlet, and then using a [route] to handle those messages...
That actually goes a long way in helping to remember what it was you
were trying to do, instead of hiding those things in multiple outlets.
it is almost like self-documenting code...

2. It appears that I need to start to learn to use 'declare'. This was
the first time that I have ever got it to work. It seems like it has
matured quite a bit...

Thanks,

Mike
