OK, sometimes I just absolutely LOVE TM !!!  The above problem was so 
easily solved with TM's Snippet functionality that I feel ashamed I 
didn't think about it earlier.

Bold Snippet:
Code: 			[b]`echo $TM_SELECTED_TEXT`$0[/b]
Key Equivelent: 	Cmd+B

replace the 'b' with 'i', 'u' and so on for all the others.

Time spent creating a working solution once I worked out how = 2 
minutes !!  Try to do that with any other code/text editor !! Is it 
even possible ??

Well, you did by making TM such a wonderful app !!!  When I get rich, 
I'll buy you a Ferrari ! :)


Kind regards,
