Heh.

I really like that, btw.

I'm planning on stealing that functionality.  A better developer would
rip that goodness out of Station_info(), call it something like
select_from_nearby(), make Station_info() work with it, then write a
Track_station_mouse() [there's already a Track_station, ask me how I
know *grin*] which works with select_from_nearby().

Since I have an informal new year's resolution to be a better
developer, I'll give that a try.

Jack.
