Hi Joe, Mind reading would be a useful skill, but it is my own mind that is causing most of the problems (sigh).
I did see an earlier comment about using brackets to delineate the concatenated string and I have found that cuts most of my problems in this area. Maybe because I have to be clearer about what I am doing or maybe because the interpreter likes it better.
