Understood!

Thanks again for your insightful comments.  I rated this post to be
"excellent" as a reflection of all your contributions to this thread.

I'm going to sign off this thread.  I've got to spend some time
actually *doing* something :-)  I'm making a copy of all the essential

proceed.

Best wishes,
Richard
