I figured that it was something like that (by looking at the save file).

You're right. It doesn't look as nice -- but it did work, and I'm very
appreciative. I looked through the code a bit (I've never before had any
dealings with TCL) and tried to get things so they looked a bit more like
the original output. Is there any way to break out the users one per line
without the "{}" characters all over the place?
