Thanks Mike,

Based on your =
comments, I think the method I'm using suits my purposes just fine as none =
of them are module links. Mainly links to a few static pages I've set up =
(in the base module) to test different block layouts. I know I could set =
the menu up and add privs for it just for me, but the sec mask suits my =
purpose just fine. Thanks for the input, it's given me food for thought =
where other areas are concerned.

Chris
