Good point! I was trying to keep my example simple for the sake of the
OP, although I do get a little lax in my code sometimes.

I appreciate your input here. I just now went to your website. I
admire your writing skill and envy your experience. I once wrote (for
about one month) a folk concert review column for the Michigan Daily,
but really I'm a wannabe writer. And a wannabe computer consultant.
Keep up the good work!
