Sigh. Some typos in the handler I sent -- I was changing variable names and didn't change everything. Here is the (hopefully) correct and testable handler. It never fails -- I am learning that if I want to debug something, all I have to do is send it off to this list and I'll immediately find the errors, *after* I hit send. -- Peter Peter M.
