Actually it looks to me like there are parentheses in either
case.  What I wanted to try is two separate parameters, rather
than the whole thing "+FLAGS(\SEEN)" as one parameter.  I think
that will solve the problem, but am just guessing.

As far as I know, this is different from the parenthesis issue
you allude to.
