pat, you may as your own person write the script with usable variable names.
you you need to do is with notepad replace the $ to something understandable...
anyway, patricks post gave some hope of need for this kindof function.
and adding all registry types to the final script should not add more than 30 strokes.

other thing then is to get it to work with the new stuff like escape chars, when it seems easiest to work with something else than the winning script... hoby's script is a good example.
