This was the missing piece for me. Is there any *specific* Python Script 
documentation you have in mind? I will go rummaging about and see what I 
can locate but if you have a specific pointer, that would be helpful and 
time-saving.

I knew I had to use a "for" construct, the problem was creating the rest of 
the line, as you have done here. Is this syntax *always* consistent? I.e., 
is it always context.someDTMLfunction(['list of', 'string arguments'])?

Thanks again. I'll get this soon, I'm sure!
