Hmmm... possibly hundreds of timed.cfg(s).

I don't, Bob, and I agree.  Dave Chord was trying to figure out a way to do 
it and I just *had* to throw my 2 cents in. ;)  I can't say that I really 
believe it's a good idea to attempt using a sysop editor in this manner.  I 
am going to try QKED when I get some free time.  Max's built-in editor really 
isn't all that bad but I can see where it can confuse some callers.
