I think you've got the right approach, John. The DOS/batch file stuff is a band-aid, and still requires the user have *some* understanding. I'm not saying that your solution would be 100% foolproof, but I think that jEmplode could *eventually* build in a lot more intelligence and user-error detection than a batch file can.

jEmplode is the one and only best place for this, and I'm glad you guys have it on your to-do list.
