(With apologies, I initially sent this privately to John, and not to the =
list.)

As I'm sure you are aware, TextWrangler is the free baby brother of =
BBEdit which, although not free, contains automatic syntax highlighting =
for exactly the sort of error you made.  It would have signaled =
"unmatched parentheses" the instant you finished inputting that line in =
your original bit of code.  If you value your time, I think you will =
find it more than pays for itself.
