Thanks, Harald. You have very good eyes to see across continent and
ocean. I titled my test document so:
<h1 align=center>Testing the Use of Local Variables in....
Replacing a SPACE with " " made the errors cease. (I was frankly
surprised that the (uppercase) 'V' and absence of the colon after
"Variables" didn't distinguish this text enough from the intended
instance. Perhaps a later version has/will.)
So, another dark obscure code corner illuminated, good karma created.
Thanks another time.
