The clue I needed.<br>

PS. For those interested in creative uses of programming, I suggest a visit<br>
to Oak Grove sometime over the next 4 nights. Oak Grove is an intersection on<br>
Lavista Road a half mile east of Clairmont Rd. Park behind the Walreens and<br>
walk south on Oak Grove Rd. to see the Christmas light show. The entire light<br>
show (this is a major league display) is coordinated with the music and runs<br>
for maybe 15 minutes of so. I am told the home owner also owns a radio station<br>
-- which probably hints at the expertise needed to put something like this<br>
together. (Needless to say, his neighbors are somewhat less than thrilled at<br>
the annual display.) I don't know which takes more time: programming the<br>
thousands of lights or wiring everything up.<br>
