  Ah!   My error.   When I saw the color code chart on that site, I
looked no further, as I was considerably irritated/  Maybe I need to
calm down a bit, eh?  *smile*

   This notation is decidedly new to me. I have never seen it or heard
of it before.  I guess being out of the game for 20 years can really
foul you up.
