Wow!  Thanks, guys.  I'm still on dialup and the house phone line was cut off for a day... a real nightmare!  Internet withdrawal!  Ack!  So I wasn't able to respond.  

I'll have to research the later suggestions.  On the night I started this thread, I was veering toward Modo, but I need to think about this.  Perhaps I should get that high speed connection first and try some demos.  Unfortunately, there is this (bizarre) time limit, so I won't have a lot of time for demo testing, anyway.  Sigh.  Not that I'm complaining about the situation, mind you....
