really?
bah, I shoulda kept my support contract active long enough to get 7.3 (on 7.2.1) ... then again, I actually did this back around the time I originally started the thread so it wouldn't have mattered I reckon, I just now got back to update because I was here to post another question

on the upside, this solution was REALLY easy once I sat down and started using it.... it's been a while since I looked at the stuff in the Admin pages, but it looked like I would have been taking chunks from a few places to get it working. This was straightforward for me and even doing nested tabs was a snap.
