"Would you mind if I posted the script back?"

Mind? MIND??? Of course I don't mind - I positively encourage it:-))
If you've got something working then by all means share it.
If you could also highlight the bugs you found and how to correct them that'd be a bonus.

I'm a programmer by profession, but 1. I'm very new to Python and 2. I threw these scripts together with only cursory testing.

With the help of feedback I can modify the scripts and make a more "professional" job of it.
As with almost all programs/applications, getting the basic algorithm written is usually the easy/quick part.

Making a "water-tight" GUI, adding "fool-proof" error checking and taking care of all possible eventualities (no matter how unlikely) are the bits that take up well over 75 percent of the time..

So everything helps:-)
