Um, poo?

   As I said, I'm a n00b. :p I guess I still have a lot to learn but I 
am finding it very hard to find resources to help with learning. Ah 
well, if it was too easy it wouldn't be fun, eh?

   Thanks for that info. I was planning to try parsing the output so you 
just saved me a lot of time.
