That would be a good way to do it.  I'll try to remember to do so on a 
lunch break sometime.

Oh.  I don't think this script needs the information in the symbols.  
The location of the symbols is in the .sch file.  For my scripts that do 
need to read though the symbols, I have a separate text file with all 
the symbol dirs listed in it.  It's redundant but it works.

I am interested in knowing how polished a script needs to be before it 
is useful for someone else besides myself.  Let me know if this script 
makes itself useful in its current form.  I've got a bunch of other 
scripts which I might consider helpful depending on how useful this one 
end up becoming.
