Hi Bill,

Many thanks for your solution.  It looks like you posted your response
about 15 minutes after I posted my question.

I posted my Eureka moment about an hour after I posted my question,
though it seemed to me to have been much sooner than that,  so I never
checked to see whether anyone had posted a response.

So I don't know which to be happier about.  That my brain began
functioning again, of that this newsgroup is attended by such
wonderful people like you and Martin.

Again,  thank you and
Best wishes,

Richard
