Good thoughts, Norman. Never hurts to repeat things a time or two; I've
decided I'll wait til tomorrow when my mind's a bit clearer though.
Can't recall right now whether I checked for "" or [] or anything else
that doesn't come to mind right now, so I'll definitely do that! If no
luck I'll start going through everythng a line at a time and even back
up to an archived version for a restart if I have to - I just hate to
throw away so much work and start over again, but ... cookies crumble
like that, I know<g>.

I'll come back & let folks know what I found if/when I figure it out.

Regards,

Twayne`
