You're right.

I've coded up version 0.2 of the Petname Toolbar and made it available 
for download. See:

http://www.waterken.com/user/PetnameToolbar/

Unfortunately, your existing petnames will be broken, since the binding 
key has changed, but this is early access software (ie: version 0.1 to 
0.2). ;)

I've tried the new version on the TD web banking site and it works 
beautifully.

Thank you Jed.
