yes, that's perfect - each of the fieldnames were names of data tiddlers. Thank you!!
And, yes, I have been perusing those filter topics at tiddlywiki.com, but I never thought of/found "getindex". I'm sure as I learn more the different parts will start making more sense. At some point in the past I remember seeing a kind of "flow chart" explanation of filters, but I didn't find that last night. Have you ever come across that?
