You're right, Jon! It works beautifully.

The only downside is that *both* scene lights are lit all the time so
I can't tell which one is selected. 
Probably a momentary switch (as you suggested earlier) is a good idea
after all. Push for scene 2, release for scene 1.

Thanks to everybody for their help,
