My thanks, Alan and Colin. My own efforts looked much like Colin's
examples. I still feel that they are the more concise/elegant way to
go. There must be some syntactical error I am missing (from the
viewpoint of Agent's handling of regexp's). That calls for another
session of RTFM. :) As it happens, neither of Colin's examples worked.
(And, I don't see why not.)
Alan's, OTOH, did work, and is in my kill filter. I suppose that this
proves the old 'whack it back 'til it works' theorem---or, simplify,
simplify, simplify.

Coincidence? I think not.
