Cory,

   This is why I decided to take a very close look at drupal.

   I'll definitely do this. I'm used to building my own tools and having
control over the tools I use. Most of my writing is done with LaTeX in
emacs, vector graphics are written with PSTricks, and I much prefer the CLI
to GUIs. While I'm not a fan of web-based apps I know that's where many are
headed so I use them, too.

Thanks,

Rich
