A belated thank you to Andrew, for the help. It appears to
have worked for me too, although I had, before asking for help,
introduced some other errors during my attempts to cure this
original problem, which then caused it to appear that the
problem had not been cured. I evenually managed to reverse
all my errors and get it working.
One followup note: It appears that the bug in the package has
been fixed, though I haven't actually looked it up. But since
a recent update, things work without the workaround suggested
by Andrew.
Thanks again,
Don MacDougall
