okay, i get it now, but i find the use of such a generic variable name
as $Name potentially wickedly confusing, given the number of possible
things that have a "name".

it would seem to make more sense to have names like, perhaps

  $Page
  $Group
  $FullPage

which appears to take exactly the same number of characters and seems
to be clearer.  or, if you didn't care about some extra characters,
even

  $PageName
  $GroupName
  $FullPageName

just my $0.02.
