Yes.. continue was it!  I don't want to break out of the FOR loop 
itself..just end that particular instance ($i).   I tried 'break', Eric, 
but if I used that then the $list never got processed..and the script 
would jump down PAST the 'done'.

All is working well.  A few tweaks..and some logic changes and I am up 
and running.  Thanks guys.  It's so nice that I'm not beating my head on 
the wall with this issue anymore.
