This reflects a failing on my part, not of the software, but I would
love to see a more user-friendly, that is, idiot-proof Script Wizard.
My trials have not been successful, so naturally I assume that others
have also had their struggles.

Along the same lines, how about including a number of editable,
one-click macros to fix common errors pointed out by cataloging guru J
McRee Elrod (see below for a few examples).

Thank you for putting out such a great piece of software!
