What I'm attempting to do is set up a trigger function which calls another
function with the NEW/OLD as parameters to the other functions...  I'm a
software engineer, so I love to make functions :-)  If I call another
function, NEW/OLD is still 'scoped' within the other function?  The problem
is I'm a software engineer (wait, I mentioned that already), so my view of
the world is different...

Thanks,
Rob
