Hi Joe, 

I've got those tools - thats what gave me the idea of wanting more menu
options to do more things...

There are also some tools in the xml section to view the transformed source,
adding two options to the context menu. If you want to go the whole hog and
add com extras I recommend 'Shell Programming' by Hamilton, published by
O'Reilly. There are a couple of example chapters floating around on the
Internet.
