Efficiently? Andrew, I personally think the approach you took to responding is very confusing. I feel like I'm flipping through chapters of a presedential debate, and reading random paragraphs. Others may feel different, but if I were you, I'd respond traditionally. As far as your question, the answer is no. You would have to extend MI to be able to add target interfaces efficiently, which would be similar to extending the CLI. What I am working on, will simply give your program access to the MI layer, efficently and correctly. Bob Rossi
