Hi,
  If one of you can send me one of you structure files, I can give
you a suggestion on how to get this done. I would have expected this
to work already with the "type" field, but perhaps not. It likely
depends on how they are named, so if you can send me the structure, I'll
have a closer look and give you some suggestions, or make a change to
the code to make this easier.

Cheers,
  John Stone
