I had to flog myself pretty hard before I used a 3rd party library tool but eventually I will need to bite the bullet and start learning SysRPL and be able to make all my own tools.

Happy to help. I guess I'm not as independent, and happily use other folks tools if they do what I need. For this requirement, suggest you grab the zip file and read the notes in the docs as the author explains the technique pretty well (which comes from Bill Wickes of all places) used to hide objects in the Home directory. If you can follow the technique (its in SysRPL), you could probably write your own version, or somehow integrate the technique into your own tools/environment. HTH.
