Super. That worked. Thanks very much.
Now, does anyone know if there is a way to pass a variable to an ini 
file. For example if I have a file ANI.ini that has animation settings 
like so:

   Initial_Frame = 1 ;default
   Final_Frame  = -1 ;default (off)
   Display = on      ;preview on

   [On]
   Final_Frame  = 10 ; <-- I want to change this
   Display = off     ; turn off the display

   [Off]
   Final_Frame  = -1 ;
   Display = on      ; turn the display on

is there a way to pass a number so when I call Ani[On] I can pass a 
number for Final_Frame?
