Right, the spaces was a side effect of a bad fix for @'s. I've got both 
working now.

When I said header I should have been more clear and said a flag in the 
header. I was thinking that setting a bit in the flag or flag2 portion 
of the header might do it. But, doesn't look that way... I was also 
thinking that using an identifier other than "NT LM 0.12" might be the 
trick, but looks that's a dead end as well.

Hm.. I'll have a look at those RAP calls and see if there's anything there. I agree that adding new calls is pretty trivial, so maybe that will work for me. Thanks, again, Mike!
