I knew it was produced by the same process, or I wouldn't have shared
it. : )
But you couldn't have known that.

Thanks... I thought I was posting about separate issues and would
annoy people who were only interested in one of the issues if I put
them both in the same thread.  I guess all posts re: the same script
should go in one thread, even if the questions posed may be unrelated
and may be separate issues.  There are grey areas.

Problem solved in John Machin's post at
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/d84f42493fe81864/03b8341539d87989?hl=en&lnk=raot#03b8341539d87989

I'll post the final code when it's prettier.
