Could you explain how this ("Wscript.Echo Mid(ObjItem.Name, 4)") works
differently? Or better yet, point me to where I can figure this out
for myself? I'm using wbemtest and scriptomatic primarily right now,
but beyond playing around with the already available scripts, I'm not
sure where to go.

Thanks.
