Yeah, I had a "DOH" moment some time after I posted that I had slipped
up when I realized that the parameter does work (even though I had
walked down the wrong path earlier).
And, of course, in inimitable usenet style, it was gone and already read
by somebody else before getting back to correct own misstatement.
Like you, I've gotten away from using DATA almost exclusively, so
combined w/ the rustiness that is rapidly developing w/ almost complete
retirement from writing code...
