Default Looking up S&P 500 Total Return

I'm interested in getting quotes for the S&P 500 Total Return into Excel 2002.
The MSN Stock Quotes plugin will let me do what I want if I can find the right
ticker symbol, but I've been unable to find a symbol for the S&P 500 Total
Return. The information is available at
http://www2.standardandpoors.com/ser...dt=11-jul-2006,
where you'll see that the "normal" S&P 500 index closed today at 1,267.33, while
the TR ("Total Return") variant closed at 1,935.61. Using the ticker symbol
"$INX" yields the former value. I want the latter one.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Scott
