Thank you Xenon - Ive got 6 template sets on my site and several hacks to install (each with several new templates to add) - this is gonna save me a LOT of time. You are a GOD! lol

[edit]

after reading up on this..
The .tpl scheme is fairly easy to work with, but is it possible to use the "new template" style system, where one can simply type in the template name in one box, then the contents of the template into the 2nd box & finally hit a submit button?

The way you have it setup right now will still save quite a bit of time, however, it still takes the time to create a new .tpl file, then read it into the page. Having the 2 box and submit button would save even more time if you install hacks that come with the template data in text files (example: copy & paste title then copy and paste body, then save, etc etc) (like shoutbox, quick reply, tutorial hack).

Just an idea
