Thank you, Brian! I thought I was supposed to use the Controller class
(var $uses), which would have then 'cascaded' down to incorporate the
appropriate Model but, having seen the fix, that seems like some
pretty stupid logic on my part ;)!
Thank you, again. Your suggestion worked perfectly and I'm getting
exactly the results I want/expect. I appreciate it, very much and have
a good rest of your Sunday.
