OK Pete,
At the risk of getting you in serious trouble again, here I have these 
files to read containing data.  How does this data constitute an object 
and after I've manipulated the heck out of it generating the view I 
wish, how do I save the object(s) to media (disk, print or screen)?

Thanks for this and other insights.
