You're welcome.  As it happens, I have of necessity developed an
eagle eye for such tiny errors (funny, considering that my sight is
anything but good:-) -- I've had to, because I'm far too prone to
making them myself!-)  I suspect this is rather common amongst
battle-scarred veterans -- "one teaches best what one most
needs to learn" (to quote Bach)...
