Ah, that makes sense!!!  Thanks a lot, that was the missing puzzle
piece.

I just introduced another marker variable to keep track of the position
in the buffer I need.  I'll be blogging about the code I'm writing soon
(in fact, this is material for a whole series of posts!), so expect some
stuff to read (certainly!) and more questions (possibly).

Thanks again,
