17 My, you are an optimistic fellow! OK, that's an idea, but I'll wait
18 and do a little more browsing on the subject. All the threads I'm
19 finding in Google start off with this feature NOT working.

21 I think I'd do better to create some sort of personal overlay - over
22 which I know little about - and try to get the files I need in there,
