Stevens lambda suggestion was most ap= propriate. Within the switch, there
are functions called with none, or so= me variation of arguments. It was not
easy to pass them in after the fact, = especially since the same function may
have different args depending on whic= h case.

The lamda worked well.

Thanks guys!
