Hello, again :)
Thanks for your speedy response :)  And I am glad that you informed me
about the photo and mp3 renaming scenarios.  I believe that you are
exactly correct in desiring to meet the needs of as many people as
possible :)  An "Add and delete" button would be cool, but my need isn't
so great that I can't manually delete the template that I don't want.

Another question that arises, is that after checking all the available
plugins in Krename, I can't find the mp3 plugin.  Right now I am
searching for it on kde.org, but with no success so far.  If this is the
world's most obvious question, I do apologize, but I'm just having no
luck locating it on the internet, or on my own system (at least for now,
Red Hat 9 again :))
