Bill,

this is **really** cool. I'm just trying it myself. Not entirely sure 
what you mean by "References". Could you spell this out in greater 
detail?

For anyone wanting to try this out: you might want initially at least 
set the action to move stuff somewhere or at least not delete 
permanently until you're happy that everything looks like it should.
