[ huge snip of very long description :-) ]

Yep, I can see how that'd work (I had to read it twice :-)... It's a
fairly neat way to do it (all things considered), Thanks!

I'm about to go O/S for a couple of weeks so I don't think I'll have
a chance to try it out before I go, but I'm pretty sure it will work.
I'll let you know as soon as I get a chance to try it.

Cheers,
Russell.

I did get a chance to try it - it works great. Thanks! I had to play
around with the Leader option tho. It's real nice to have it at the
top of the option list (since it would be used more than the Warp
options), so I added another high priority "Add Leader" option that
sets the "Lead" type. Then I moved all of the standard leader options
below the Warp spells set them to Auto (restricted by the type) and
hid them. Still looks the same, behaves totally different :-)

Thanks,
Russell.

Yeah! There are lots of ways to skin cats with AB. It's just a matter of
figuring out some wacky way of side-stepping the limitations you're running
into. :-) If you run into situations in the future where you're using a
boatload of something, it's quite likely there's an alternate way of
solving it. Sometimes it's not very easy figuring out what that alternative
IS, but it's usually out there. :-)

Glad to be of help!! And thanks for checking this before you left. I was
expecting it would work, but I honestly wasn't certain. This solution is
really a serious test of all the AB internals, and I don't think I ever put
it through such a nasty test as this previously. :-)

Thanks again,
Rob
