Thank you for the link to the appropriate optical slave and advice.  I shall order a few to keep in my bag.  It's too bad that this great flash can communicate via radio and infrared, but Canon left out a plain vanilla optical trigger.  Go figure.  Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

I'm a newbie with Canon and used to use the Nikon SB900 flashes in SU-4 mode which makes them a manual, optical slave that would fire when any studio flash went off.  Im trying to do the same with the Canon RT600EX but can't find a way for them to fire completely independent of the camera / ST-E3 controller.  Any advise would be much appreciated.
