Yes, I know.  It's a habit.  I write in so many languages where it is 
either optional or required, I simply choose to use it all the time. 
Sometimes, I don't know my fingers even added it.

Absolutely.  This was chopped up from my much larger program.  And even 
then, #doit is only called once.  My plan is to take these tables out of 
global variables and make them constants in another Module.

So, are you somewhere were I could buy you a cold beverage?  It would be 
my pleasure!
