Bowen,

I had a (6th) sense that you would come through on this. You were
correct, I was 'overdelimiting'. When I tried it your way, instant
success. Thanks!

So, why isn't this nicely pointed out in online Help? Yeah, this is
somewhat rhetorical, but if Ken (Chan) is lurking, maybe he could put
this on 'the list'.
