You're right, and I retract and apologise. In this case, I believe I've
probably misinterpreted something said way earlier in the thread which 
the above would also contradict, and which when I saw going unchallenged
I took as true. Maybe I'm misingerpreting the *whole thread*, as that p12
seems to be the immediate answer to everything. Thanks for hunting it
out and so succinctly correcting my unacceptable error.
