No problem. If I had sufficient understanding, I would
simply have filled in the blanks. Going through the
exercise gave me a few more data points, so I have a
better handle on what works--although I'm still mystified
as to why.

At any rate, I appreciate the block trick. It's something
I'm beginning to make more use of.
