That looks like it could work.  I'd have to play with it.  I'm  
mystified as to what OBNu0 and OBNu1 are (for instance).  I assume  
they are some halo, but they aren't used elsewhere in pkg/obcs.

WRT the documentation, has there been any thought to making a wiki  
where folks can contribute and write down how they do these things?   
Of course it would be nice if the manual were kept up to date, but  
everyone is busy...

Thanks,  Jody
