That works for me.  A couple of followups have suggested other
things that also should work, but since we don't know what went
wrong here, it's hard to say why any of those will work better.
If none of them actually works for you, or if you actually want to
understand what's going wrong, a simple example program would help
explain what you expected, and what actually happened.
