        I'm in process of trying that. I took the precaution of emailing 
your post to myself, so that I can keep it on one workspace and pan on 
another, and click back & forth -- fortunately, as will appear.

        OK

        Makes a lot of sense. But meseems I might could oughtta (I love 
triple subjunctives!) go take a look at those other files, since I don't 
know yet what the bug is, nor how bad.
