It's not exactly what you've described, but here's something similar.
Basically a little baby jigsaw.

My GAWD! That is the worst Web site I've ever seen!

That looks pretty good. Have you ever used one of these?
It is not what I had seen on TV, but it looks like it would be very helpful.
The price seems a little high for such a simple jig, it would be $204 US
delivered.
But it makes the whole job look easy.

Collins tools replacement jig saw foot. Make sure you look at his
other tools. I use the foot and the miter clamps. These are
carpenter tools invented by a carpenter.

Thanks Paul. That is another way of doing it. I guess there is more than one
way to address this job.

Josh - That would be a little weak for what I am looking for. I will be
using it to cope 6 inch oak baseboard and other things like that. The one
you pointed out is basically for model building.
Thanks for looking.

Here's a coping foot that replaces the baseplate on many jigsaws.
Haven't used it myself, but there is a review or two linked on the
site.
