Sorry A'rpi.  I get this mailing list as a digest. So things are not
instantaneous.  Also I travel a great deal and so I may go a day or so
before seeing secondary or tertiary answers to my e-mail queries.

I had read Rich Felker's email, tried his idea, composed my e-mail reply, and
sent it before I saw your and tried your answer.
Again thanks for your help.  I appreciate taking the time to answer
my newbie questions.
