    So it turns out that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. I've been a Mac user for more than 8 years, have had a need for something like this many times, but didn't know it existed until today. Thanks!

    I looked at it in the past but it seemed beyond my needs and understanding. Didn’t know about Hex codes at the time. Now I do. What a brilliant little tool. arrigato Gary-san.
