The answer is "yes" -- it behaves one of those two ways.  :) But it's  
a trivial change -- about four lines of code -- to make it behave the  
other way.  I don't want to presume your proficiency in coding, but I  
wrote this as an example for people to look at and adapt as  
appropriate.  Let me know off-list if you want more help.
