Dick, I'm late in responding to this, but think I should add my voice  
to the many others who appreciate all the hard work required to  
develop and maintain the core programs I rely on for my writing tasks.  
I seriously appreciate that work and the ingenuity required to  
discover and repair this arcane bug. Thanks for the post and for the  
fix. You have my gratitude.
