Thank you, that is spectacular.  This is what really had me stumped:

string = $1 * 2 + $2 * 2 + $3 * 2 if string =~ /^(.)(.)(.)$/

You do hate intermediate variables, don't you ;-)?  Anyway, thanks  
for your time, now it's ready for prime time.

I second the motion.  As I mentioned before, the included command is  
in conflict with almost all of the snippets in the CSS bundle, which  
insert #DDD as the tab stop and only highlight the DDD.  If you run  
the default Insert Color command and choose white at that point  
you'll end up with ##FFFFFF.  I strongly recommend that this be  
modified!

Thanks,
