I didn't necessarily mean that literally.  I meant one that I couldn't
modify and have it affect the Toolkit globally.  For instance, if it
gave me a copy of the database instead of the one that is actually
used by the Toolkit, that wouldn't be adequate.  Sounds to me like
it gives me the same thing I have now, but in a documented way.

That's great.

Thanks,
