Howard, I just saw this message from you today, when I happened to be
looking through my gmail spam folder -- no idea why it ended up there!
On Friday, I only saw your subsequent message and responded to it
without knowing that you had already implemented this enhancement. So I
didn't fully understand the context in which you had written that message.
Thanks very much for implementing this enhancement! I will check out the
code.
