[ts-gen] MacOS Shim problems

[Mike Thornton]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the clarification.

Perhaps I missed reading my next question somewhere, and if I did, I
appologize.  For the "bind key:${key} to oid:${oid};\n" command (python
syntax), what table does "oid" index into?  I suspect it is the "Template"
table, and that "oid" refers to the "uid" in the Template table.  Would you
please verify or correct my suspicions?

Thanks.
Mike
