     Wow!  In less than 30 minutes I was able to install AutoIt3, find a 
suitable example, edit and test it, then compile it to an EXE file.  Much of 
what's available in AutoIt3 is way beyond my needs, but it did what I wanted 
and I'm happy.

     Later I'll modify it so I can incorporate it directly into the firewall 
launcher, which is what I'm used to.
