Greetings from She of the Great Red Face with the BAD Eyesight!
A big thanks to
Michael R. Kline mike_at_lib.utexas.edu
who, in an astonishing 13 minutes, had me my answer: I should have been

time to go home. Thanks again, and sorry for taking up your bandwidth with
proofreading problems!
Regards,
Sheryl <insert sheepish grin>
