I hate to bump a post, but it occurs to me that this is the only post of the last oh, 6 or so on this group that has had no replies whatsoever. I'm not sure whether it's that no one knows the answer to this, or if it's that far off-topic - if the latter, please advise as to where it might be more on-topic. Thanks!

Or, if it's because I'm overlooking something extraordinarily stupid, please say so. Thanks again!

I admit I'm rather new to this, but this really is a seemingly common task I'm stuck on here, and yet searching elsewhere has netted me nothing so far. =/
