   want our program to run. Note that the 'sed' command effectively
   limits us to the _first_ instance of PlistBuddy that is found by 
   'locate'. In my experience most users have several of these on
   their machines. *)

(* If our 'Try' block worked, we can get into the main subroutine. We'll let
   the user pick a category of alias to delete from the Dock, and use getArray()
   with the proper parameters. We could probably subroutine the deletion as well,
   but it's just one line, so no big savings. *)

(* getArray() is where most of the work is done. Regardless of the array we are
   working with, it does the same thing. Our 'Repeat' block allows for an 'unlimited' 
   (heh!) number of Global Login items, since we know that the text, "Does Not Exist" will be
   returned for non-existant elements. *)
