RE: creating a new procedure that call an existing procedurewithoneadditional parm

I think you'd be best duplicating the logic of SndMsg().

Trying not to duplication the logic means testing 5^3=125 combinations of 
parameters to figure out what you have that you can pass to SndMsg().

Most of the testing will be done again in SndMsg() as it figure out what it has 
to work with.


Now consider what happens when you add another parm....


Nope, in this case, I'd say duplicating the SndMsg() logic is the way to go.
