Thanks, this is definitely a step up. In Visual D, highlighting 
and intellisense does not work correctly but it does seem to make 
it easier than using a string directly. (I imagine it is the 
fault of Visual D for treating the argument of q as different 
than code)

It should, though, let me do what I want easier than the other 
methods.

Thanks again!
