Thanks Phil. Now it's working.
(I stumbled upon a way to make this work about a year ago, but for some
reason, I couldn't remember how to do it. Probably age.)
BTW - The MediaRequested reference was caused by me doing a little editing
in the original post, without compiling. I was starting to get sleepy and
delirious, i.e, careless, when I posted.
Thanks again,
Steve Sinai
